Sollazzo Ensemble
As if you were stepping into a medieval fresco: with sound, colour and movement, magnificent music from 1425 comes to life in this festive large scale programme by Sollazzo Ensemble.
In a Europe where cultural exchange flourished, a refined, virtuoso and richly decorated repertoire blossomed: the musical counterpart to the flamboyant Gothic.
Thanks to historical sources, from eyewitness accounts to payrolls, we know how this music by Ciconia, Pullois, Lantin and Binchois may have sounded, and above all how it was intended to impress. Tonight, this magnificent heritage will resonate once again: overwhelming, elegant and surprisingly modern.
