Karlsruhe, Germany celebrates its tercentenary in 2015. The festivities celebrating this jubilee are an occasion for the Karlsruhe Baroque Orchestra to introduce this debut CD featuring selected works by directors of the Karlsruhe court ensembles. This audio compendium of over 200 years of Karlsruhe's musical history extends from the origins of its court in the Baroque period to its 19th c. heyday. Under the direction of Kirstin Kares, magnificent works of high musical value and outstanding representative quality, almost all in premiere recordings, have been resurrected.
