Background: Holland Baroque Society unites the youngest generation of baroque musicians. They encountered each other in the best European Baroque orchestras, and by 2005 they were of the opinion that it was high time to establish their own distinctive sound. Since that time, Holland Baroque Society has combined innovative programming with a unique working style.

The orchestra does not have a permanent conductor: that helps keep their ears sharp and makes the sense of ensemble both richer and more intense.

For each new project, HBS invites a particular baroque specialist who has an innovative vision, one who has mastered a distinctive aspect of performance practice, or in some other way has escaped the timeworn pathways of convention. For this releases they worked together with Matthew Halls, renowned harpichordist, organist and conductor and artistic director of The King’s Consort.

Why has Holland Baroque Society devoted its first CD to the relatively unfamiliar Muffat? Well, there are more than enough reasons! Muffat’s music not only offers a wide sampling of European styles and techniques, but the composer also melds them together into a more elevated totality of style.

In addition, this is is not only European music but democratic music: the French five-voiced style guarantees that everyone in the orchestra participates equally. And in conclusion, these are brilliantly composed pieces which will fascinate every listener.
