Josquin's Legacy: Festival Valloire Baroque
31 July France / Valloire
Courts in Renaissance Italy were meeting places for some of the greatest musicians from across Europe. The Court at Ferrara became a leading centre: many of the Franco-Flemish school passed through its gates. Here, expressive settings from the Office of the Dead by Mouton and Gesualdo are interwoven with lamentations from the generation after Ockeghem, who deplore the death of Anne of Brittany.
Highlights include two responses to the Lamentations of Jeremiah by De La Rue and Brumel, alongside a work by Indian-American composer Shruthi Rajasekar, commissioned by The Gesualdo Six in 2022.
