On Ricercati, a DSD EP, Matthijs van der Moolen celebrates all the qualities of the Sackbut. Two brand new works for Sackbut (also known as Baroque Trombone) by Martijn Padding are paired with early music pieces by Marais and Virgiliano as well as a mysterious anonymous composition.

Enjoy the full range of one of the oldest instruments from the western music tradition. Travel back to the renaissance on the wings of the beautiful acoustics in which these recordings where made and head back to modern times to see how nowadays music is inspired and fuelled by centuries of musical tradition and history.
