...the performances, under the direction of Gwendolyn Toth, had a youthful flair, even a certain sensuality, that stood out in a season of routine ritual. – Alex Ross, New York Times T « LA SPEDIDAM est une société de perception et de distribution qui gère les droits des artistes interprètes en matière d'enregistrement, de diffusion et de réutilisation des prestations enregistrées » |
Between Monteverdi and Bach lies an entire repertoire of glorious sacred music. Johan Rosenmüller (1619-1684) was equally a genius, and was one of the most important links between the early and later baroque styles. ARTEK, Les Sacqueboutiers, and violinist Enrico Gatti feature several of Rosenmüller’s outstanding solo cantatas for alto or soprano, along with virtuoso instrumental music by Biber, Schmelzer, and Weckmann. This concert is a celebration of the flowering of German baroque music in the second half of the 17th century.
