Vienna c.1709: Arias for Soprano and Viola da Gamba

Sobre o Evento

Be taken back to turn‐of‐the‐century Vienna at this recital of baroque arias.

Czech artists Hana Blažíková and Petr Wagner present a programme of vocal and instrumental music that would have been heard around Austria's capital city around the beginning of the 18th century.

Petr Wagner directs his own Ensemble Tourbillon from the viola da gamba — an instrument acclaimed in years gone by as the closest approximation to the beauty and flexibility of the human voice.
