BBC Proms - 2010 - Proms Chamber Music - PCM 08 - Le Poeme Harmonique

BBC PROMS 2010 Live from Cadogan Hall, London Presented by Catherine Bott Vibrant French ensemble Le Poème Harmonique and their director Vincent Dumestre conjure up the carnivalesque atmosphere of 17th century Venice, where the streets and palaces provided a cultural melting pot for both popular and artistic styles of the day. Along with Claudio Monteverdi's expressive 'Lament of the Nymph', there's music by lesser-known contemporaries Benedetto Ferrari and Francesco Manelli, the first composer to write operas for the paying public as opposed to the privileged court. Monteverdi: Lamento della ninfa Monteverdi: Dormo Ancora (from Il Ritorno d'Ulisse in Patrria) Marini: Sonata terza Manelli: Bergamasca: La Barchetta passaggiera Manelli: Canzonetta: Sguardo lusinghiero Manelli: Jacara: Aria alla napolitana Manelli: Ciaccona: Acceso mio core Ferrari: Chi non sa come Amor Ferrari: Son ruinato, appassionato Anon: Villanella ch'all'acqua vai Le Poème Harmonique Vincent Dumestre (theorbo/baroque guitar/director) This Prom will be repeated on Saturday 11th September at 2.00pm.
