Chelycus & Alex Potter
Giovanni Rosenmüller: a German in Venice Johann Rosenmüller was an heir to the revolution unleashed by Schütz in Germany after his trip to Italy. Once Rosenmüller himself was working in Venice, the German adapted effortlessly to his environment. Together with the violinists Veronika Skuplik and Bjarte Eike, Chelycus has invited the young countertenor Alex Potter to perform a selection from the unique Italian solo repertoire of Legrenzi and Strozzi, in their turn Monteverdi’s heirs.
Gesualdo Consort / Harry van der Kamp Sweelinck in Holland: Schuyt, Tollius, Padbrué, Schoonhovius, Verdonck
Sweelinck did not compose his vocal works for the church – the Calvinists were vigilantly on guard against the use of overly complex music during the service. His psalms, just like his madrigals, chansons and rimes, were intended to be sung with friends around the table. Gesualdo Consort Amsterdam lets us hear the kind of music that was enjoyed in Dutch sitting-rooms. As always, Harry van der Kamp comes up with some exquisite finds in this context.
