The Choir of Clare College, Cambridge: Spitalfields Music Summer Festival

演出简介

The Choir of Clare College, Cambridge return to the Spitalfields Music Summer Festival under their new director Graham Ross presenting works by Martin, Stravinsky and Gesualdo.

They will present one of the greatest 20th century a cappella works, Frank Martin’s 1922 mass for double choir. The Swiss composer is heard alongside works by Carlo Gesualdo and Igor Stravinsky, a direct contemporary of Martin, born on this day in 1882. Gesualdo’s harmonic explorations intrigued Stravinsky, whose arrangements of Gesualdo’s Sacrae Cantiones provide here a fascinating contrast to the Italian master’s motets and madrigals.
