Extrait du concert de Cappella Mediterranea à Froville.

Cappella Mediterranea - festival de Froville - saison 2015

This smartly composed programme represents Seven Deadly Sins and Seven Virtues, and all of them sing Monteverdi opera arias or madrigals. According to the 17th century believes each aria mirrors one human passion (“affect”) that is why the idea of reflecting on what passions Monteverdi arias represent seems to be both reasonable and intriguing.

The musicians discovered all of the sins (pride, greed, lust, envy, gluttony, wrath and sloth), which are also contrary to the seven virtues, in three Monteverdi operas and some madrigals. Leonardo García Alarcón, Argentina-born conductor living in Switzerland, made a studio recording of the programme with his ensemble Cappella Mediterrannea, and a team of young soloists. The recording was released the in 2016 to great critical acclaim – in fact it was nominated for “Recording of the Year” by Victoires de la Musique, and received a prize of AllMusic web. There’s an excerpt from the AllMusic review: “This extraordinary album was released in anticipation of the 450th anniversary of Monteverdi's birth, and the enthusiasm and high energy of Capella Mediterranea's performances suggest that their celebrations in 2017 will be quite lively and entertaining”. Let’s keep celebrating it in Zaryadye!
