Fiumi barocchi

TRAME / FIUMI BAROCCHI

The last sixty years have seen the rediscovery and revival of the sometimes unknown ancient musical repertoire but which helps us to immerse ourselves in the historical reality of an era that, as inhabitants of a historic city, we are used to having under our eyes every day and enjoy it in everyday normality. The ancient city resounded with music intended for public, religious and court life. Today listening to music in the palace is like opening a door not only on the tastes and aesthetics of distant times but also on the emotions that unite modern man and that of the past. So ancient music not as a museum but as part of a journey that leads us to glimpse distant panoramas and to evoke “passions” as the musical and theoretical texts of the time often repeat to us. The Sala dei Fiumi is a unique place for an auditory and emotional experience that leads us to retrace the history of our country and connect us to distant places but in constant contact with each other. The Flemish composers at the court of Mantua, Vivaldi in Vienna, Handel between Germany, Italy and England, Bach who studied the Italians to appropriate the “concert” technique. Encouraged to interact with the public, the performers of this musical festival eliminate the barrier often existing between performer and audience to communicate to the listeners and companions of this musical journey a more intimate and original reading of the music performed.
