Millennium of Music
February 2005 Schedule
#05-07: 2/07/05:
L'Esprit Galant:
That spirit is of the French love song, one that evolved extensively in the second half of the 17th century. For Valentine's Day, this week lutenist Fred Jacobs and soprano Johanette Zomer evoke that elegant era. (from the Holland Festival of Early Music at Utrecht 2004).
#05-08: 2/14/05:
Dormition of the Mother of God:
After a return pilgrimage to the Benedictine Abbey of Chevetogne in Belgium, we have brought back a stunning new body of recordings, as this unique group continues its mission of uniting the ancient division between western & eastern Christianity through musical service.
#05-09: 2/21/05:
I Fiamminghi:
They were called the "mountain-crossers," "those from beyond the Alps," or just "The Flemish." In one of the newest recordings sponsored by the Ministry of Flemish Culture, the ensemble Capilla Flamenca celebrates one of their earliest number: Arnold de Lantins (? second half 14th cen--1432).
#05-010: 2/28/05:
Arias for Farinelli:
Following the film of that name dealing with the most famous of the castrati, Vivica Genaux recreated many of these unique pieces for the popular recording on Harmonia Mundi. This week, from the Istanbul International Music Festival, we will hear a live performance of some of these extraordinary works.
