Alchemie Der Musik: Plorans ploravit Valls, F. (+7 More)

“Did I come to the wrong concert? This sounds like... no, more like... Whatever, nothing like Baroque music...”. If you find yourself having thoughts like this during this evening’s concert, have another, closer listen and join the musicians in rediscovering a composer who was ahead of his time.

The Catalan composer Francisco Valls, a contemporary of Johann Sebastian Bach, experimented with sound combinations and, like Bach himself, was a master of counterpoint. His musical artifices were considered revolutionary at the time and sometimes sound as if he had time-travelled into the future.

With their discovery of Francisco Valls, the multi-award-winning ensemble BachWerkVokal under the direction of Gordon Safari take their Baroque Festival audience on an excursion to innovative Baroque sounds that in their own time were literally unheard-of
