Profeti della Quinta, The Songs of Solomon : Stockholm Early Music Festival

演出简介

Six young, award‐winning musicians interpret the music of Jewish Renaissance composer Salomone Rossi, shedding light on his multifaceted work as court composer and renewer of the devotional music of the synagogue. Rossi (c. 1570‐c. 1630) composed secular madrigals as well as polyphonic settings of Hebrew psalms and prayers. A rare musical experience!

The Stockholm Early Music Festival is the largest international event for historical music in the Nordic countries, and alone in Sweden in presenting repertoire from baroque, renaissance, and medieval times in one festival. With variation and quality as its motto, the festival highlights the diversity of early music, offering a programme of known and unknown music from all over the world, featuring well‐renowned Swedish and international artists. The festival has been held annually in the historical setting of Stockholm’s Old Town since 2002, in the special summer atmosphere of early June.
