Hazel Ketchum returns to Columbia Baroque for this extravaganza concert of music by Vivaldi, Scarlatti, Schmelzer, and introducing a recently discovered Fantasia for solo gamba by Telemann. Improvvisato! refers to Italian-style ornamentation where performers improvise flourishes and embellishments that add beauty and personal expression to the music.
