Programme

Overview

Rediscover Monteverdi’s revolutionary genius in an evening that spans from 17th-century Italian and French masterpieces to Barbara’s haunting chansons and the radiant melodies of Gorni Kramer and Michel Legrand. La Nuova Musica celebrates the expressive voice that once scandalized its contemporaries and still captivates audiences today. Join us for a journey of timeless contrasts and emotive soundscapes.La Nuova Musica presents an evocative programme that bridges the bold innovations of Claudio Monteverdi with the intimate lyricism of 20th-century chanson. Opening with the very works that once drew withering criticism for their daring modernity, the ensemble breathes new life into Monteverdi’s expressive harmonies and vivid text painting drawn from 17th-century Italy and France. The programme then moves into the melancholic world of Barbara’s chansons, where each tender phrase is suffused with bittersweet longing, before dissolving into the sunlit delights of Gorni Kramer’s swinging rhythms and Michel Legrand’s luminous melodies. With sensitive phrasing, dynamic contrast and richly textured interplay, this concert celebrates a lineage of emotional depth and musical innovation that reverberates across four centuries.
