Discover our cities series
Ensemble Diderot prides itself on its pioneering exploration of the Baroque trio sonata repertoire, carrying out extensive research in libraries across Europe to unearth and study significant but previously unknown Baroque works. In particular with their award-winning ‘Cities’ series, the four musicians are dedicated to shining new light on the rich music-making of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, providing historical and musicological insights into how music travelled and developed across major European cities at the time.
The first four albums of the series present important repertoire cornerstones alongside hidden gems from the earliest French and English trio sonatas through to late baroque and gallant music from Germany. A fascinating new cartography of baroque Europe as well as a plea for open borders and artistic exchange.
We at Audax love baroque music and our artists are always especially happy when they see kids in their concerts. That's why we have crafted an innovative colouring book in four languages with which children can delve into the exciting music of the baroque period and interact with it in a creative way. The accompanying CD provides a fun playlist. Let your kids rock out to Bach, Handel and Montanari while they discover castles, wigs and baroque instruments.

Adriana González and Iñaki Encina Oyón received the prestigious German Record Critics' Award for their album with works by Robert Dussaut and Hélène Covatti. “The complete recording of their songs is a real discovery in a market that has long since worn out the concept of discovery. Adriana González, 2019 Operalia winner, is accompanied by Iñaki Encina Oyón, who discovered and edited the works. The informative booklet has been carefully edited and contains professional translations throughout.” (For the jury: Stephan Mösch)
