Baroque string ensemble ACRONYM is dedicated to giving modern premieres of the wild instrumental music of the seventeenth century. Playing with “...consummate style, grace, and unity of spirit” (The New York Times), the group formed in 2012 to create the first recording of the Alphabet Sonatas of Johann Pezel. ACRONYM’s following disc, sonatas by Antonio Bertali, was released in 2014 to critical acclaim; Alex Ross selected it as a CD Pick, and Early Music America Magazine wrote “the idiomatic performances and spacious recording by these young musicians are absolutely first rate. This is a disc … belonging in everyone’s collection.” For this album, ACRONYM teams up with Cantor Donald Meineke and his Bach Choir of Holy Trinity (an ensemble known for a half-century of riveting early music performances in New York City) for the first recording of Samuel Capricornus’s monumental Jubilus Bernhardi.
