Nowadays, the term "baroque" is not always used in its original sense. It rather imprecisely encompasses a vast period roughly spanning from 1600 to 1750, whereas in fact it should describe music that surprises, that deviates from well-trodden paths, that plays with spaces, contrasts, sounds, timbres…
This "cabinet of curiosities" is also the accumulation of diverse, contrasting, little-known scores, sometimes by unknown authors, which Clematis brings back to life after they have lived in the incredible activity of true collectors of emotions, who were the two main "collectors" of this treasure, Gutav Düben in Stockholm and Jacob Ludwig, musician of the Duke of Braunschweig-Wolfenbüttel!
