- World premiere recordings of all the music by Matteis and the Telemann and Brescianello suites
- An extra-long album at 88 minutes!
- All of the music on the disc is – rather fortuitously – Carolean; either written for Charles II of England, or for (or in the realm of) Holy Roman Emperor Charles VI
This release celebrates the life and work of Nicola Matteis the Younger. Born in London to an Italian father and English mother, Matteis was immersed in the style of Henry Purcell before leaving England in 1700 for the Imperial Court in Vienna. Starting his Viennese career as a violinist, he moved up the ranks eventually becoming the leader of the court orchestra and the composer of all the ballet music for the court operas and balls. This album showcases music by Matteis himself; music written during his childhood (Purcell); music written for him (Vivaldi); by those with whom he collaborated (Caldara); and by those who may have come to know the English style through his music (Telemann and Brescianello).
