Dresdner Musikfestspiele: Baroque Sound Magic — Nuria Rial & Les Cornets Noirs

About the Event

Under the dome of Dresden's Frauenkirche, audiences can look forward to an evening of enchanting musical beauty when soprano Nuria Rial and the ensemble Les Cornets Noirs embark on a musical journey to 17th‐century Italy. The exceptional Catalan singer, who is one of the great and acclaimed voices of Baroque music, has a slender, radiant tone, a softly resonant timbre, and a fascinating expressiveness. Pure intonation, lightness, elegance, and vitality are the outstanding qualities of Les Cornets Noirs. The ensemble, named after the traditional black leather‐wrapped cornets of the Alpine region, is causing a sensation with its interpretations of early Italian and German Baroque music. The long‐standing collaboration between the musicians and Nuria Rial is audible in every note. The way the crystal‐clear soprano combines with the brilliant playing of Les Cornets Noirs to bring the music of Monteverdi or Palestrina into the present day is simply an experience not to be missed.
