La Decollazione di San Giovanni Battista: National Forum of Music

イベント情報

Discover a musical tradition that has almost been forgotten — that of the Italian‐language oratorios of the Hapsburg court.

Telling the familiar story of John the Baptist and his fatal encounter with the rapacious Salome, Antonio Maria Bononcini's 'The revelation of St John the Baptist' is a perfect exemplar of this lost, Lenten, tradition. Andrzej Kosendiak, director of the National Forum for Music, conducts the Wrocław Baroque Orchestra and soloists in this musical treasure of the Holy Roman Empire.
