In today’s programme we are broadcasting a recording that was made at the Early Music Festival 2019 in Utrecht: ‘Caravaggio and the art of the madrigal’ performed by Urgent Music.
You are also hearing a tribute that was paid to Renaissance composer Salomone Rossi by Profeti della Quinta, a recording from 2013.
A) ‘Caravaggio and the art of the madrigal’ performed by Urgent Music
Caravaggio is the most famous early Baroque painter of Italy and he lived and worked in Naples for a short time around 1600. Baroque violinist Veronika Skuplik, her ensemble Urgent Music and Nuria Rial (photo) bring a program based around this great master with madrigals and instrumental music from d’India, Trabaci, Strozzi and Falconieri.

B) Salomone Rossi – Profeti della Quinta
Salomone Rossi from Mantua wrote both secular and spiritual music, but the emphasis was on the secular. In addition to his famous collection of psalms and prayers in Hebrew, he published four books with instrumental music and no fewer than nine books with Italian secular works, including madrigals, canzonets, balletti and madrigaletti. The five singers and three musicians from Profeti della Quinta are led by Elam Rotem and bring a diptych with both styles of music written by Salomone Rossi.
