passion craftsmanshipThe idea behind this very eclectic disc is, [...] to explore through chamber music the stereotypes of passionate Italians and staid Dutchmen. This was evidently concocted by oboist Onno Verschoor of the Accademia Amsterdam, and to insure that both sides were represented, cellist Alessandra Montani and keyboardist Fabio Ciofini were imported from Italy.

[...] The performance by the quartet of instrumentalists are always solid and elegant.

Zachow project[...] de faam van het concerterend gezelschap en de uitstekende publiciteit voor dit concert zorgden voor een goed gevulde Dorpskerk en dat is dan meteen al een warme binnenkomer! Het ensemble Accademia had voor dit concert een heel bijzonder programma voorbreid met muziek rond de Kersttijd van G.F. Händel en F.W. Zachow.

Wilhelm Friedrich Zachow (1663-1712) is one of those 'hidden' composers who has disappeared under the dust because the big three - Bach, Handel and Vivaldi draw all our attention. Recorder player and oboist Onno Verschoor has rediscovered Zachow. His music is one of the missing links between Buxtehude and Bach.

zachow christmas cantatasIt seems as if great composers draw a vacuum around themselves. The reality, however, is that Bach and Handel elaborated further on what previous composers presented them. Without those earlier composers they would not have been nowhere.
