The Italian Institute of Culture and the Consulate General of Italy are delighted to welcome the Italian period instrument ensemble Il Pomo d’Oro at the Edinburgh International Festival 2024.
Travel to the great courts of 17th-century Italy for this concert of early Baroque music. The ‘heavenly’ (Gramophone) ensemble Il Pomo d’Oro and countertenor Jakub Józef Orliński perform songs, arias and instrumental numbers from their recent album Beyond.
Songs include arias by the ‘father of opera’ Claudio Monteverdi and his pupil Francesco Cavalli. Tender love songs by Girolamo Frescobaldi, Francesco Cavalli and Barbara Strozzi also feature. Discover lesser-known vocal and instrumental gems too, including three varied opera arias by the Neapolitan composer Giovanni Cesare Netti.
Il Pomo d’Oro’s instrumentalists will also get the chance to show off their skills in elegant pieces by Biagio Marini, Johann Caspar Kerll, Carlo Pallavicino and the leading Polish Baroque composer Adam Jarzębski.
Sung in Italian with English surtitles.
