  AMARCORDES - Baltzar
According to the English scientist Samuel Hartlib, Baltzar studied with Johann Schop (i), and he is recorded at the Swedish court in 1653.
Baltzar was in London in September 1656 to play in Davenant's The Siege of Rhodes, though Anthony Wood wrote that he spent about two years with Sir Anthony Cope at Hanwell House near Banbury.
Baltzar probably returned to London at the Restoration, and was given a new place in the King's Private Music by a warrant dated 23 December 1661, back-dated to Michaelmas at the high salary of £110 a year.

 HOASM: Henry Purcell and his Contemporaries
The English passion for music in the home continued to flourish as it had during the golden age, though the madrigal was gradually being replaced by the less complex form of the catch, represented by Hilton 's Catch that Catch Can (1652, 1658, 1673).
He wrote a number of pieces for viols and voices that are sometimes mistakenly attributed to his famous father.
Later, Thomas Britton (1657-174), coal merchant and enthusiastic music lover, organized a series of weekly instrumental concerts from 1678 until his death, in which the most illustrious musicians participated including Handel himself.

Sir Thomas was in attendance on Anne Boleyn at her coronation in 1533, her father, Sir Thomas Boleyn, being a Norfolk neighbour, who is mentioned repeatedly in the above accounts as a visitor at Hunstanton.
In 1536 Sir T. le Strange was appointed to attend on the king's person during the Pilgrimage of Grace, and to bring fifty men with him; in July of that year he was placed on the commission to inquire into the revenues of the wealthy abbey of Walsingham, near his own Norfolk estate.
It is to his credit that, though a personal friend of the king, and employed on business connected with the dissolution of the monasteries, Sir Thomas does not appear to have used his influence at court to secure for himself any church lands whatever.

Baltzar: A Division on "John come kiss me now" (violin, viol, organ, theorbo, harp)
Among the composers included, Matteis has developed an increasingly large reputation for his violin writing (in an Italian vein) of late, despite the fact that he was apparently not greatly copied in his own era.
Baltzar was the acknowledged leader in solo violin writing prior to the arrival of Matteis, and uses a more "english" style.

 SEVERINUS EARLY MUSIC EDITION - Works for three violins and b.c.
by two of the foremost virtuoso violinists of their day, Thomas Baltzar and Nicola Matteis.
This music has recently been praised in print by Dr Peter Holman, who has also recorded the Matteis and part of the Baltzar (Hyperion CDA66108, released in 1988) from private transcriptions.
'Mr Baltzar's Consort' -- really a Suite in C, with a very fine opening Pavan and Galliard -- seems to have begun a trend in England that culminated in Purcell's own wonderful contributions to the genre.

Early Music Review - 63 - September 2000 / BC This is a wonderful CD - I have sat and listened to it (or rather allowed myself to be transported far beyond the confines of my new living room) several times in the last few weeks.
If I once likened Elisabeth Wallfisch to Locatelli, I have to say that Annegret Siedel might well be Thomas Baltzar incarnate - his music must simply flow in her veins!
