Festival de Sablé and Academy - a french Premiere
23 August 2019 - Sablé-sur-Sarthe
The tenor and conductor Emiliano Gonzalez Toro and his ensemble I Gemelli revives the work of the composer and Milanese religious Chiara Margarita Cozzolani, a contemporary of Cavalli, Strozzi and Ferrari, in the 17th century. While their CD has just been released on the record label Naïve (Diapason d’or, Choc Classica), the Festival de Sablé will have the honour of hosting on Friday, August 23 at 16:30, the French Première of these "Vêpres de la Vierge", a work attestating to a perfect mastery of the polychorality and of a subtle musical rhetoric.
