BBC Radio 3 - The Early Music Show, Aldeburgh Festival 2010: La Nuova Musica

La Nuova Musica perform music by Gabrieli and Schutz at the 2010 Aldeburgh Festival.

Lucie Skeaping presents a concert given at Blythburgh church in Suffolk as part of the 2010 Aldeburgh Festival, with La Nuova Musica performing music by Gabrieli and Schutz.

Lucie Skeaping presents a concert given by the ensemble La Nuova Musica at Blythburgh church in Suffolk, as part of the 2010 Aldeburgh Festival. The ensemble - founded by the countertenor David Bates in 2007 - comprises some of Europe's finest early music specialists who share a common desire to shed new light on standard repertoire and bring neglected gems to the fore. This concert features music by Giovanni Gabrieli & Heinrich Schütz.

Schütz's sacred output is magnificent in sheer volume and invention. His work in Italy culminates in his Sinfoniae Sacrae III of 1650, in which his mastery of instrumental writing, his attention to word painting and seeming obsession with sonority and texture reaches unsurpassed heights. They contrast these massive works with some of Schütz's most intimate and tender motets from his Kleine Geistliche Konzerte along with the greatest instrumental and polychoral music from his Venetian music-master, Giovanni Gabrieli.

Live music and the arts: broadcasts more live music than any other radio network. Classical music is its core. Genres include world and new music, jazz, speech and drama.
