Formed at the Royal Conservatoires in Brussels, the ensemble has chosen to champion the music of a hitherto neglected Belgian composer: Henri-Jacques de Croes. Treading a path between French, Italian and German influences, de Croes produced music that was courtly yet with enlightenment aspirations. The trio sonatas of 'Op. 5' were written with a touch of Rococo in mind and a strong Italianate flavour. With only one copy in existence the 'Six Sonates' have hitherto led only a shadowy existence and were regarded as 'lost' for many years. With this recording BarrocoTout aims to quash the myth that 'unknown is unloved'.
