La Barca Leyden is a Baroque Ensemble, based in Leiden, The Netherlands, was formed in 2007 by flutist Raymond Honing and consists of musicians who specialize in historical performance practice. La Barca Leyden is finding ways to blow new life into the rich musical history of Leiden. The ensemble performs in large and small formations and its repertoire starts where Cornelis Schuyt finished: with the early baroque. The first recording “Italian masterpieces” with music by Vivaldi, Veracini, Geminiani, Corelli and Platti has been very well received by press and audience.The world of music ihas been significanlty altered in the past centuries. Today, almost everything is directed toward the mastery of but one instrument. But an ordinary Kapellemeister in the 18th century played many and various instruments, led orchestras, gave lessons, composed and improvised. We find the subject of improvisation particularly intriguing, and we have experimented with improvising preludes in concert before sonatas. It has become an interesting and somewhat daunting experience. We improvised several preludes during the recording of this album, and we have used the two most interesting.
