The turn of the 17th century represents not only the golden age of the Venetian Republic, but one of the most variegated moments in the history of Western art music. The innovations of the Venetian School, influential far beyond the confines of its native lagoon, represent the culmination of a stylistic evolution in a period of aesthetic transition from the high Renaissance to the early Baroque. The instrumental music of “La Serenissima” is celebrated not only for the enormous historical, cultural, and artistic inheritance that it represents, but, quite simply, for its sheer beauty. La Pifarescha incorporates a fascinating and diverse selection of instruments. Shawms, sackbuts, cornetts, trumpets, bagpipes, dulcians, flutes, fiddles, lutes, viols, percussion, and many others, join together to alternate the sounds of "alta” with the “bassa cappella", offering a highly variable sonority unique to this group.Thus, La Pifarescha traces the evolution from the alta cappella to the noble consort of cornetts and sackbuts, which appeared on the scene during the renaissance and flourished in the early baroque, often expanding its ranks to include keyboards, strings, and voices.

Paganini’s Sonata Concertata, Giuliani’s Variations op.24a and Ibert’s Entr’acte are also included in this stunning recording, where violin and guitar are equal partners and Duo animAcorde displays supreme virtuosity and musicianship.

Idolized by legions of guitarists and composers, this musician from Minas Gerais made his recording debut on Nivaldo Ornellas’ 1969album. But only in 1972, when Horta played the guitar on Milton Nascimento’s album "Clube da Esquina", did he catch the public’s attention. In the following years, Horta recorded with Elis Regina, Gal Costa, Nana Caymmi, Joyce, Edu Lobo.
