The sublime early-instrument ensemble Trio Settecento (1700s Trio) took listeners on an unprecedented country-by-country Grand Tour of the European Baroque through a series of four recordings, issued individually between 2007 and 2012. Now the entire critically acclaimed series is available as a specially priced boxed set offering all four CDs for the price of two. 'Whatever the demands, the musicians ornament with stylish sensitivity, savour the expressive sophistication and achieve utmost clarity of texture...the trio turns this delectably considered soirée into an evening to cherish' (Gramophone).
