Magdalena Kožená sings Monteverdi and his contemporaries — With La Cetra Barockorchester Basel Verbier Festival 2018

About

“I enjoy returning to the baroque because I feel at home”, explained Magdalena Kožená. The mezzo-soprano is in her element in this concert dedicated to the so-called “father of opera”, Monteverdi. The acclaimed singer joins La Cetra Barockorchester Basel under the direction of Johannes Keller, who perform several instrumental works by the composer’s contemporaries, including Marco Uccellini, Tarquinio Merula, Dario Castello, and Biagio Marini.
