| |  | In Giulio Caccini's Garden
Marco Horvat (bass, theorbe, baroque guitar, lirone, direction) Giulio Caccini spent much of his life at the Medici court in Florence. He was famed above all as a virtuoso singer, accompanying himself on the chitarrone. This type of singing - which was to give rise to opera - often covers two octaves or more, the vocal part leaping acrobatically from one register to the other, thus imitating the 'alla bastarda' playing of the bass instruments. | | | In stock - usually despatched within 1 working day. |

| |  | Firenze 1616Sospiri d'amanti
Le Poème Hamonique, Vincent Dumestre One single ideal inspired the toils of learned Florentine
societies at the end of the 16th century: to discover the
essence and the ways of Greek tragedy, seen as the universal
symbol of the lost harmony between words and music.
Orpheus, both poet and musician, son of a God and a mortal,
represents this union between two languages.This recording presents all the expressive possibilities of a rich
instrumental accompaniment, in order to better serve the theatrical scene. As a fitting prelude to Domenico
Belli's Orfeo Dolente, created in 1616,Vincent Dumestre chose various airs of Florentine masters of the
Seconda Prattica (Caccini, Saracini…) “An attractive assemblage of Florentine fragments. The music is attractive, and it’s nicely performed.” Gramophone Magazine, July 2008 | | | Usually despatched in 2 - 3 working days. |
