By early 2023 he completed the cycle in Köthen, where Bach was Capellmeister from 1717-1722. The two separate experiences captured performances of unique intuition and power.

The international ensemble “Altera Pars” (in English: Other Side) specialises in the performance of baroque and classical music. The musicians are leading soloists of European orchestras and play using period instruments. This allows for a variation of the line-up from 3 to 9 people and opens up a rich chamber repertoire from the 18th to the early 19th century. In the last four years, the ensemble initiated a much-praised series of concerts in the Oldenburg Palace.

So im Fitzwilliam Virginal Book Giles Farnabys musikalischen Hinweis auf einen wohlschmeckenden Likör namens »Rosasolis«, der zur Stärkung oder als Aphrodisiakum verabreicht wurde.

Axel Wolf – Dreaming and Waking (2023) [FLAC 24 bit, 48 kHz]
Iris Lichtinger (baroque and renaissance recorders) and Axel Wolf (lute and theorbo) are well respected specialists in the field of early music. On their new recording, the musicians present musical treasures from the multinational melting pot of baroque London including works by Carissimi, Kapsperger, Marcello and Weiss.
Samuel Pepys (1633 – 1703) pondered the difference between dreaming and waking in his personal diary, which the English Member of the House of Commons, Secretary of State of the Royal Navy and passionate amateur musician kept during the years 1660 -1669. Among other things, he played the lute and noted on Thursday, April 16, 1668, that he had begun to learn the recorder, the sound of which attracted him the most “of all the sounds in the world.”
