Bononcini’s La decollazione was first performed during Lent of 1709 in the chapel of Emperor Joseph I in Vienna. The rather sober scoring of La decollazione for strings and continuo might be explained by the Lenten presentation, but the vocal and instrumental demands of the piece fully exploited the brilliance of the Viennese musicians, and their skill in opera. At the same time, Bononcini integrated his skills in counterpoint, normally associated with sacred music, throughout the work so that it presents as both worldly and spiritual.

We present to you the twelfth album with Old Polish music, this time from the 16th century. The direct inspiration for its recording was the invitation of Wrocław Baroque Ensemble to Lviv, Kyiv and Vilnius in the autumn of 2021. At that time, we included fragments of Missa Paschalis by Marcin Leopolita in the programme of the concerts. (…) Few of Leopolita’s works have survived, so the idea of recording Missa Paschalis quickly turned into a project to record the composer’s complete works. All surviving compositions, apart from the mass, have been preserved in the form of organ tablatures.
