Born in London to an Italian father and English mother, Matteis was immersed in the style of Henry Purcell before leaving England in 1700 for the Imperial Court in Vienna.
All of the music on the album is – rather fortuitously – Carolean; either written for Charles II of England, or for (or in the realm of) Holy Roman Emperor Charles VI.
It is all too easy to think that the English style and English musicians were unknown on the continent in the early 18th century, but this selection of music shows that this wasn’t (always) the case.
There are some cracking dances and dance suites featured here, as well as a ravishingly beautiful Vivaldi concerto and two superb Chaconnes, one by an Englishman, and one by an Italian.
