Millennium of Music
March 2010
Spotlight on the Netherlands
We continue our long and fruitful association with our partners at Radio Netherlands in presenting a series of concerts from the 2009 Holland Festival of Early Music at Utrecht. We will also direct listeners to their web site, which will provide more in-depth information about the music and performers we hear as well as more information about the festival (www.rnw.nl). The primary theme for 2009 was the 250th anniversary of the death of Handel.
#10-10: 03/01/10 --Recorder Sonatas--Some of the most beautiful and haunting music in Handel's work is for recorder (or flute) and harpsichord--Eric Bosgraaf and Francesco Corti illustrate why.
#10-11: 03/08/10 --What We Missed--A cantata, some sonatas, and whatever else we missed on our musical celebration of Handel and his time.
#10-12: 3/15/10--Blame Not My Lute--After performing with the brilliant lutenist Ronn McFarlane for over 25 years, we finally commit to disc our program of Elizabethan and Jacobean poetry and drama about the lute accompanied by readings; the national broadcast premiere.
#10-13: 3/22/10--Jerusalem, Part 1--In a brilliant book and two-CD compilation, Jordi Savall (with Hesperion XXI) evokes the city of Jerusalem, and it Jewish, Christian, and Islamic past.
#10-14: 3/29/10--Jerusalem, Part 2--We continue a three-thousand year exploration of the music and spirit of this city of two Peaces: Heavenly and terrestria
