ADAM JARZEBSKI (before 1590-1649): Corona Aurea, Königsberga, Sentinella, Spandesa, Nova Casa, Chromatica, Berlinesa, Bentrovata, Canzoni 1-3 and 5, Concerti 1-3.

Description: Taken from a collection of works published in 1627, these two-, three- and four-part compositions for violins, cellos and continuo (theorbo, chitarrino, positive organ and harpsichord), perhaps most closely influenced by works of the virtuoso violinist/composer Francesco Rognoni, are early precursors of what came to be the trio sonata and the sonata da chiesa. Ensemble Mensa Sonora. 1999 release.
