A cheerful dance awakens love and feeds hope with lively joy, (Florence, 1790)
Ensemble le Moment Baroque, performing on period instruments, presents Praetorius & Monteverdi en dialogue, a program comparing two of the most important composers of the 17th century. We’ll hear instrumental selections from Claudio Monteverdi’s operas, as well as from Terpsichore of 1612 by Michael Praetorius.
Recorded live in concert January 25, 2018, in the Église Saint Germain, a 13th-century church located in the Swiss canton of Porrentruy, not far from the French border.
