Christoph Schaffrath (1709, Hohnstein 7 February 1763, Berlin) is best known as a musician and composer of classical western music of the late Baroque to Classical transition era. Schaffrath's music can be considered transitional pieces which are stylistically galant between the Baroque and the Classical, characteristically melodious and composed of short phrases using triplets and steady rhythms. (bron: Wikipedia) "Schaffrath, a household name to music lovers in 18th century Berlin, has faded from memory. But the works for concertante viol in duo, trio and quartet strings presented here are certain to contribute to the renaissance of Schaffrath's memory. These are works of their time - melodic, tastefully embellished, charmingly expressive yet allowing for interiorized moments, and not too repetitious in the restament of ideas - according tot the vocabulary of styles and idioms that constituted the 'Berlin School'."
