What the largely unknown name of Georg Muffat may lack in dissemination and reputation, he makes p for in incredible variety, virtuosic power, and influence, especially on the development of instrumental music. The treasure trove of Muffat, which comes to light in particular in his sonata collection “Armonico Tributo,” is what the early music ensemble Concerto Copenhagen and its director Lars Ulrik Mortensen are taking to the discographic spearhead of their 30th anniversary in 2022. Concerto Copenhagen is one of Scandinavia’s most innovative and experimental baroque orchestras. Long known and celebrated beyond the borders of Denmark, the early music ensemble delights audiences throughout Europe with exciting border crossings between early and contemporary music.
