Millennium of Music
August-September 2011
Spotlight on the Netherlands
#11-33: 08/08/11 --The Campra Requiem--An ensemble from the Centre de Musique Baroque de Versailles presents this extraordinary masterpiece.
#11-34: 08/15/11 --The Predecessors--Happily, the ensemble Jacques Moderne reminds us of the great French music at the end of the 16th century with a mass by Claude le Jeune and Du Caurroy's 1590 Requiem.
#11-35: 8/22/11 -- Three from Ambronay--The remarkable French label gives us three recent recordings looking at women composers in the early Italian Baroque, Venice in 1677, and a reconstruction of Vivaldi's Vespers for St. Mark.
#11-36: 8/29/11 -- Three Woman-Based Ensembles--Encantar, Les Witches, and La Donna Musicale take us on a musical journey from the High Renaissance to the Italian Baroque.
#11-37: 9/5/11 -- The Song of the Sibyls -- One of the five most-popular shows in the program's 33-year history has been Jordi Savall's exploration of the prophecies of the ancient Sibyls; we will hear the re-packaged first offering in that series.
#11-38: 9/12/11 -- Three Baroque Offerings -- Heinz Holliger's recent exploration of Bach and the oboe; the Tribute disc featuring Lorraine Hunt Lieberson singing Handel; and the rarely-recorded Colin de Blamont.
#11-39: 9/19/11 -- Germany: The Reformation and Thirty Years War -- Still catching up with this repertoire, we hear programs dedicated to the early years of the Reformation and one of those composers who survived the difficult religious wars of the 17th century.
#11-40: 9/26/11 -- Oswald von Wolkenstein -- Happily, both Jan de Gaetani in her ground-breaking 1977 recital (recently re-issued) and Andrea Scholl more recently performed music by this most remarkable figure in musical history.
