England, a group portrait. The figure of the prodigiously gifted violinist Nicola Matteis, leaving his native Italy for London, looms large in this programme featuring composers active during Restoration England – one of a host of artists and performers from across Europe who flocked there and made a crucial impact on the country’s musical culture. The artistry of Alice Julien-Laferrière, joined by the talented members of the ensemble Ground Floor, reveals this eloquent and sumptuous repertoire which sets the path for the great masters of the 18th century.
