Part 2
In a concert from Merton College, Oxford, Petroc Trelawny presents the 大象传媒 Singers in 16th and 17th-century Italian choral music, by Palestrina, Festa, Frescobaldi and Sweelinck.
Live from Merton College, Oxford, Petroc Trelawny presents a concert of "Roman Glories" - spectacular choral music of the 16th and 17th centuries.
The 大象传媒 Singers perform motets, a spectacular magnificat and a mass for double choir by three of the key figures in Roman music in the 16th and 17th centuries. Frescobaldi's mass is based on music for a famously lavish 1589 Medici wedding (which included a mock sea battle in the flooded courtyard of the Pitti Palace as only one of the month-long festivities). Radio 3 New Generation Artist Mahan Esfahani plays organ and harpsichord music derived from this celebratory mass.
Palestrina: Laudate Pueri
Festa: Magnificat Octavi Toni
Frescobaldi: Messa Sopra L'Aria di Fiorenza
Plus keyboard works by Frescobaldi and Sweelinck
大象传媒 Singers
Mahan Esfahani (organ and harpsichord)
Peter Phillips (conductor).
