Annotation
This concert with the poetic title Delfín amoroso is an imaginary dialogue between two musical superpowers of the Western Mediterranean. The first half of the evening will belong to the period of the greatest flowering of Spanish culture, aptly called the Siglo de Oro (Golden Century). The second half will resound with examples of Italian vocal and instrumental music of the late Renaissance. In addition to the captivating timbre of the viola da gamba, listeners will be able to sample the sound of two aristocratic and truly virtuosic instruments – the vihuela de mano and the Spanish Baroque double-row harp.
Renaissance vocal virtuosity, however, is no match for the instrumental equivalent. The conversation between human voice and musical instruments will thus create a fascinating musical experience that will make this evening unforgettable – no doubt thanks to the artistry of the ensemble La Bellemont and soprano Julieta Viñas.
