Baroque Twitter offers listeners an exciting journey into the world of early 18th-century Baroque poetry and music, a world filled with musical variety and soloistic brilliance. Together with the Kammerorchester Basel, Nuria Rial and Maurice Steger have recorded an album of Baroque arias and concertos inspired by birdsong. In their search for works to include in their album they have discovered some dazzling jewels, some well known, others previously unrecorded: dreamily playful arias about love, infatuation and the beauties of nature.
