About

Calcutta 1789, the latest album by Notturna, is a fascinating portrait of 18th century musical life in India during the British colonial period.

Under the direction of Christopher Palameta, the program combines traditional Indian music with works by Purcell, Handel, J.C. Bach, and other European composers.

Notturna's period instrumentalists are joined by the voluptuous sounds of the sitar, played by Uwe Neumann, and the tabla, played by Shawn Mativetsky.

Inspired by a 1789 concert program discovered in the archives of Calcutta, the recording reconstructs the rich cultural exchange that developed between Indian and English musicians who were brought to India as part of The British East India Company's entourage.

Founded in 2006 and directed by oboist Christopher Palameta, Notturna is a chamber collective whose "spirited and sensitive playing" (Early Music America) draws on the transparency and expressiveness of early wind instruments to paint fresh pictures of an unexplored historical repertoire. Notturna has toured extensively in North and South America and Europe, creating vivid and dynamic programmes that its musicians interpret with zeal and uncompromising depth. Canadian oboist Christopher Palameta performs with many of Europe's finest period ensembles, including The Gabrieli Consort, Il Pomo d'Oro, Pygmalion, Les Musiciens du Louvre, Les Siecles, La Grande Ecurie, La Petite Bande and Vox Luminis, among others.
