Pórtico de Zamora
04/02/2008
29 February TO 9 March 2008.
'Harmonic Consonance' is the unifying theme of this year’s Pórtico de Zamora International Music Festival, a theme that refers back to Greek music theory and provides the festival with the focus of 'human music', understood not only in terms of the voice, but also instruments.

5 Star : Forgotten Virtuosi
07/02/2008
This SACD’s title is somewhat misleading. These early 17th-century violin solos with and without accompanying instruments include some by composers doubtless familiar to Goldberg readers, such as Castello, Marini (Romanesca), Baltzar, Schop, Brade and Rognoni.

11/02/2008

The London Handel Festival reaches its 31st year in 2008.

5 Star : Dialogue Cantatas
14/02/2008
Bach composed a number of cantatas that represent allegorical dialogues between Jesus (bass) and the Soul (soprano). They nearly all draw on the symbolism of Christ as a bridegroom and the Soul as his bride, a conceit that goes back to the Song of Songs; but few do so as explicitly as BWV 49, first performed in Leipzig in November 1726 and surely one of Bach’s most sensuous cantatas.
