Program
Ignacio Prego offers a fascinating picture of the German Baroque period.No programme of concerts on the theme of funeral music would be complete without Lament on the Death of Ferdinand III by Johann Heinrich Schmelzer, the Baroque composer and violinist and maestro of Heinrich Ignaz Franz von Biber, who is also featured at this concert performed by Tiento Nuovo and conducted by harpsichordist Ignacio Prego. The maestro and his disciple and other works by Johann Rosenmüller and Georg Muffat offer a broad picture of the German Baroque period, with vocal and instrumental works that may be little known but which are bound to arouse interest and admiration in equal amounts.
