About

In 16th and 17th century Italy, the use of solo bass instruments was becoming ever more popular. Besides Fantasias and Canzonas, dances with ostinato bass figures were particularly favoured: Chaconnes, Passacailles, Bergamascas and Ruggieros were considered hypnotic and seductive. Played on bass instruments, these dances, with their forward-driving ostinatos, even today provide a very special listening experience.
