Synopsis
Lucie Skeaping presents a concert given by the ensemble La Nuova Musica at Blythburgh church in Suffolk, as part of the 2010 Aldeburgh Festival. The ensemble - founded by the countertenor David Bates in 2007 - comprises some of Europe's finest early music specialists who share a common desire to shed new light on standard repertoire and bring neglected gems to the fore. This concert features music by Giovanni Gabrieli & Heinrich Schütz.
Schütz's sacred output is magnificent in sheer volume and invention. His work in Italy culminates in his Sinfoniae Sacrae III of 1650, in which his mastery of instrumental writing, his attention to word painting and seeming obsession with sonority and texture reaches unsurpassed heights. They contrast these massive works with some of Schütz's most intimate and tender motets from his Kleine Geistliche Konzerte along with the greatest instrumental and polychoral music from his Venetian music-master, Giovanni Gabrieli.
