Dresden – no other city was as brilliantly influenced by the Baroque style. Saxony's aristocracy reveled in grand appearances and created a stage for their courtly life. The ruling class had a taste for art and they attracted painters from many countries. The city offered a plentitude of motifs. These artistic documents are united in this unique book. Music CDs: Dresden's Baroque also stands for a magnificent tradition of music. Composers such as Heinichen, Pisendel or Zelenka represent fullness in sound, rich instrumentation, and virtuosity: Here they are performed by Saxony's trumpet star, Ludwig Güttler.
