Ensemble Danguy
Ukulele orchestra, singing saw, synthesizer: Vivaldi's Le quattro stagioni has taken on hundreds of guises. For our historical(!) version, Tobie Miller performs as the incarnation of Nicolas Chédeville, the French court musician who made an arrangement for the then very hip hurdy-gurdy. Chédeville also published sonatas by his own hand under Vivaldi's name... In this disguise, the boundaries between original and imitation are blurred. Can you still hear what is real and what is not?
