DREAMING & WAKING

DREAMING & WAKING (Link to CD)

Samuel Pepys (1633 - 1703) pondered the difference between dreaming and waking in his personal diary, which the English Member of the House of Commons, Secretary of State of the Royal Navy and passionate amateur musician kept during the years 1660 -1669. Among other things, he played the lute and noted on Thursday, April 16, 1668, that he had begun to learn the recorder, the sound of which attracted him the most "of all the sounds in the world." Musical treasures between dream immersion and joie de vivre from the multinational melting pot of baroque London.
