A musical journey to the myth of Arcadia
In this album, NeoBarock takes you to the poetic dreamland of Arcadia. With music by Heinrich Ignaz Franz Biber, Johann Heinrich Schmelzer, Alessandro and Domenico Scarlatti, Giuseppe Tartini and others, NeoBarock brings the world of the pastoral idyll to life.
In “Arcadia – Paradise in Music” pastorales inspired by Christian hope of salvation meet those that take their cue from the dreamlands of antiquity.
With an introductory text in German, English, French and Russian.
