Muffat: Armonico Tributo
Georg Muffat: Armonico Tributo (1682)
"The weapons of war and its consequences are far from me. Notes, harmonies, the sounds of music are my path. And when I combine the French, German and Italian, it is not to incite war, but in a desire for harmony between people and a cautious hope for peace" Georg Muffat
Reviews:

"Concerto Copenhagen is to be admired by their precision, colors and sensibility." (Jean-Christophe Pucek, June 2022)
♥♥♥♥♥ " Colorful, terrific, and so alive that you don't quite understand that Muffat's 'Armonico Tributo' is 340 years old."
