The Muffat Collective is a period instrument quartet with a difference: four incredible musicians and friends dedicated to the emotions, historical context and beauty of the Baroque, an era full of passion, vitality and energy. After several years of delighting live audiences with their exciting and engaging concerts, this album brings the ensemble’s magic to a wider audience.From Venice to Versailles treats your musical palette with the tastes that defined the Italian and French styles in the 17th century: an exquisite blend of tender melancholy with festivity and beauty. It showcases works by Italian masters Antonio Vivaldi and Biagio Marini, and celebrated French geniuses Marin Marais, François Couperin and Jean-Marie Leclair.

‘Our 17th-century namesake Georg Muffat believed, as do we, that by subtly blending the declamatory passion of Italian music with the grace and richness of the French Baroque he could make “perfection in music”,’ says leader Matthew Greco. ‘The works on our debut album are a homage to the pursuit of Les Goûts réunis (The Styles United) and are some of the most stunning works from the 17th and 18th centuries.’
