Breaking strings and unusually tuned instruments: with the choice of its repertoire, the ensemble Der musikalische Garten (The Musical Garden) set a difficult task for itself. The ensemble’s focus is on the German music of the seventeenth century, whenever possible with violin parts written with scordatura tunings. The present recording offers a glance into the art of scordatura as well into the various styles and timbres associated with it and that make this repertoire so unique.
