Baroque music secretary

The type of furniture mentioned in the title of the concert is, on the one hand, an obvious reference to the valuable objects from the collection of the Princes Czartoryski, but at the same time it is a clever metaphor for the richness of forms and the variety of themes that appear in madrigals and early Baroque operas.
