| Insalata - I Fagiolini | |||
| An a cappella salad of music from the High Renaissance with 20th century works they inspired. In the first half, Monteverdi’s most powerful miniatures for the virtuoso court at Mantua, followed by Poulenc’s sensual ‘Sept Chansons’ which he wrote after working on music of the Italian master. An actual ‘ensalada’, a staged and Monty Pythonesque drama from the court of Valencia leads to Berio’s take on 16th-century street cries written for The Kings Singers and some lighter works to close. | |||
