Baroque concert featuring the concerto arcus caelestis, with works by Georg Muffat.
Georg Muffat can confidently be described as a musical cosmopolitan. Born in 1653 in Megève, Savoy, he received his musical training in Paris, where he became acquainted with Lully’s style, before studying with Bernardo Pasquini and meeting Arcangelo Corelli during a stay of several years in Rome beginning in 1680. Both the French and Italian styles profoundly shaped and impressed Muffat.
Although he always strove in his own compositions not to mix the two styles, the question arises time and again as to whether he actually succeeded one hundred percent, or whether he did not sometimes slip into his own “blended” Muffat style.
