SAINT ELIE CHURCH, KANTARI
VIVALDI, AGITATA E DIVINA
DELPHINE GALOU, contralto
ACCADEMIA BIZANTINA
ALESSANDRO TAMPIERI, violin/conductor
A second chance to listen to Delphine Galou and Accademia Bizantina who has been awarded the 2018 Gramophone Classical Music Award for the recording of Vivaldi’s Agitata.
The contralto Delphine Galou gives a recital of sacred arias from the 17th and 18th centuries, with music strongly influenced by opera arias in vogue at the time.
Alessandro Tampieri will conduct this remarkable early music ensemble and play Vivaldi’s concerto for Viola d’Amore, an enigmatic and elusive instrument.
Your mind will be taken over by the exotic charm of a journey from Istanbul to Venice.
