Festival Musica Antiqua Bruges | A The Demon and the Virgin
In Luigi Rossi’s Oratorio per la Settimana Santa, an assembly of demons is gloating on the prospect of Christ’s Crucifixion. Against the backdrop of their schadenfreude, the gut-wrenching lament of the Virgin hits like an earthquake. Frank Agsteribbe guides his cantoLX and the Ensemble de la Chapelle Saint-Marc through this jewel and other baroque pearls by Rossi.
Luigi Rossi :
- Cantate Hor ch’in notturna pace
- Dite, o cieli, se crudeli
- Io lo vedo
- Due labre di rose
- Spargete sospiri
- Oratorio per la Settimana Santa
