In Missa etc. at 15.00-16.00 : Lamentationes de Jeremiae Prophetae from the 16th and 17th century.
You can hear lamentations by Jacquet de Mantoue, Giacomo Carissimi, Carlo Reinaldi and Orlando di Lasso, by among others soprano Maria Cristina Kiehr and the Egidius Quartet.
Here is the playlist for Missa etc. in the guide.
In De Tuin van Oud at 16.00-17.00 : Responsoria for Easter Week by Carlo Gesualdo.
A hundred years before Bach’s Passions, the Italian composer and nobleman Gesualdo composed his less well known but just as gripping passion music: his Responsoria for Easter week.
During this hour you can hear a selection from his music for Maundy Thursday, Good Friday and Easter Saturday.
The performances are by three different ensembles – one for each day: the King’s Singers, Ensemble Arte Musica and the Hilliard Ensemble.
Here is the playlist for De Tuin van Oud in the guide.
