Formed in 2016, the Spanish Baroque ensemble L’Apothéose has quickly established itself as a key player on the historically informed music scene. The multi awarded group (winner of the York Early Music International Young Artists Competition in 2019, Second Prize at the Internationaal Van Wassenaer Competition in 2018, First Prize at the Göttingen Händel Competition in 2017, Second Prize at the Concours International de Musique Ancienne du Val de Loire in 2017) makes its debut for Linn with a program of music by Carl Philipp Stamitz (1745–1801). The eldest son of the celebrated Mannheim school founder Johann Stamitz, Carl Philipp was a well-traveled virtuoso and a composer in his own right. Published around 1780 during his stay in London, the rarely recorded Six Trios à une flute ou deux violons et violoncello obligé, Op. 14, showcases the expertise of L’Apothéose’s musicians.
