The International Center for Early Music Foundation and Jordi Savall founded The Jove Capella Reial de Catalunya (Youth Royal Chapel of Catalonia) in order to offer a musical repertoire with the voices of a new generation of young singers of different nationalities. On this edition of Baroque&Before, we hear Jove Capella Reial de Catalunya in a program of madrigals from the late Renaissance and early Baroque eras by Claudio Monteverdi, Giaches de Wert, Carlo Gesualdo, and others.
Tonight’s program was recorded live in concert March 27, 2021, in Oriol Martorell Hall in Barcelona’s L’Auditori as part of the Barcelona Emergents Music Festival. Thanks to WFMT’s association with the European Broadcasting Union, we’re able to bring you tonight’s program as a stream for 30 days following the broadcast. A blue “Listen” button will appear below when the stream is accessible.
