First publication of two attractive works for three violins and bc by two of the foremost virtuoso violinists of their day, Thomas Baltzar and Nicola Matteis.
'Mr Baltzar's Consort' -- really a Suite in C, with a very fine opening Pavan and Galliard -- seems to have begun a trend in England that culminated in Purcell's own wonderful contributions to the genre.
Matteis's [Divisions in D minor] are highly original and full of vitality.
