Il Viaggio del Principe

Il Viaggio del Principe takes Carlo Gesualdo and the Este court of Ferrara in 1594 as the starting point for a journey through late-Renaissance musical experimentation. Giovanni Antonini brings together Il Giardino Armonico and the Chor des Bayerischen Rundfunks in a programme that moves between sacred polyphony, madrigal and instrumental music, setting Gesualdo’s highly chromatic language beside works by Emilio de’ Cavalieri, Cipriano de Rore, Giovanni Gabrieli, Luzzasco Luzzaschi, Alfonso Fontanelli and Claudio Monteverdi. The concert is presented in Munich by the BR under the title Gesualdo – Fürst der Leidenschaft. A pre-concert introduction is scheduled for 19:00.
