Musica Veneziana by Various, Fr. 25 Aug. 2023, Ab (2023/2023), Dirigat Andrea Marcon, Alte Rheder Kirche, Rhede, Deutschland

The award-winning harpsichordist, organist and conductor Andrea Marcon and “his” La Cetra Baroque Orchestra Basel have been internationally appreciated and in demand for their artistically sophisticated programs for years. In "Musica veneziana" they revive the splendor that emanated from the lagoon city at the transition from the Renaissance to the Baroque. Linking elements are three motets by Alessandro Grandi, Tarquinio Merula and Antonio Vivaldi, which radiate a timelessly expressive modernity with their intensity. In addition, scores of three Vivaldi concertos and works by Dario Castello, Biagio Marini and Bernardo Storace are just waiting to be brought to new life by Andrea Marcon and La Cetra in gripping, up-to-date interpretations.
