Dionysos (Bacchus)
Baroque&Before offers an exploration of the music of Monteverdi and his contemporaries. Works by Scheidt, Dowland, and Holborne complement madrigals of Monteverdi, including his Lamento d’Arianna. This week’s program comes from the Jordi Savall Festival, recorded live in concert August 12, 2023 in the Church of the Monastery of Santa Maria de Santes Creus, in Aiguamúrcia, Tarragona.
