The Dunedin Consort launch the 2017 Queen's Hall series live from Edinburgh with a programme featuring a recently rediscovered work by Monteverdi which was transcribed by Sch眉tz into German. 'Combattimento', known in its original form as 'Il combattimento di Tancredi e Clorinda' is the fateful love story of a Christian soldier and his Saracen lover at the time of the first Crusades. Monteverdi's original work is notable for one of the earliest known inclusions of the string instrument effects of pizzicato and tremolo. The programme begins with a number of instrumental and vocal works by contemporary composers from German and Italy.
