Stowik has made more than three dozen recordings, many of them prizewinners. His critically praised liner notes accompany over half of these releases. Of the music to be played at the Theatre on Feb. 4, he writes: “The Purcell fantasia program contains some of the most inventive music of the 17th century. Henry Purcell (1659-1695) rivalled Mozart, whose similarly brief life, a century later, produced so much marvelous music. Because many of the instruments for which Purcell wrote have since fallen into disus*\ his music is not now well known. (All this will change, we hope during the 1995 tricentennial year’s worldwide celebrations.) The 1680 Fantasias are scored for quartet of viols. They are intensely beautiful miniatures.”
The 20th century Hnglish composer, Peter Warlock, has noted that "Many who hear or read these Fantasias of Purcell for. the first time will no doubt find them quite modem ..Purcell is a'Jarrus-like figure in the history of music, looking backward into the past and forward into the furture.”
The concert at The Theatre on Saturday , Feb. 4 affords a rare opportunity to hear the violas de gamba together and an unusual treat from the English baroque.
The final concert in the 1994-95 Smithsonian at Little Washington series will be given by the Smithson String Quartet on March 18.
