Il trionfo della grazia
Contemplation through Vienna and Dresden
La Favorita presents a sacred program to bring listeners on a spiritual journey of contemplation through the court of the Hapsburgs in Vienna and the court of Augustus the Strong in Dresden exploring a rarely performed repertoire of ravishing beauty and rich affects. The chosen repertoire is inspired by less known compositions taken from Oratorios and Sacred Cantatas performed during Lent and express a broad spectrum of emotions and poignant dramatic poetry enhanced by the music. With our careful selection of arias for chalumeau obbligato, it’s easy to feel the heart of the late 17° century italian musical tradition, mirrored through the refined works and inspiration of the viennese court composers and those influenced by them.
Lenght: ca. 60′ including moderation and a small break.
