Fascination Orient

The surviving music of Persia from the 17th and 18th centuries is extremely rare and therefore a valuable testimony to the times. European composers of this time gave their works Persian titles and paved the way for intercultural exchange 300 years ago. In this concert, a fascinating compilation of previously unheard music bridges the gap from East to West with traditional ancient Persian music and works by G.P. Telemann, G.F. Handel, M. Marais
