About
Copenhagen-based early music ensemble Camerata Øresund takes a musical voyage throughout baroque Europe on their debut recording Pas de bourrée. Suites of dances by Campra, Roman and Purcell alternate with concertos by Bach and Vivaldi and a programme work by Telemann. A theme of travel and journeying unites these pieces. Camerata Øresund cannot keep their feet still even in the most virtuoso of concertos. They dance an energetic "pas de bourrée" to the Allegro of Bach's Harpsichord Concerto, whilst the slow movement from Vivaldi's L’estro armonicois transformed into a hypnotic Sarabande. Pas de bourréeis a colourful kaleidoscope of moods, emotions, characters and stories. Camerata Øresund remains true to their promise that everything they touch will turn into a dance.

Performance **** Recording ****
“… Danish Ensemble Camerata Øresund brings some charm to some unfailingly attractive music and deserves credit for airing Roman’s too-often overlooked compositions…”
“… From virtually the first chord of the Campra Overture, it’s clear: this is a great orchestra, providing transparency and tonal clarity, as well as an uninterrupted, supple flow to the music, in which the various moods and content are beautifully served in a dance-like manner. The ensemble playing generally remains lean, transparent, and light, and the rhetoric is dynamically enlivened with variety. In the process, the details of the recording add up to a charmingly buoyant whole.” *****
