This hour features new, special CDs with early music. Today, old and new go together in our giving attention to diminutions of old compositions of Palestrina, di Rore and others on the CDs “L’Arte di diminuire” of L’Estro d’Orfeo and “La bella minuta” of Bruce Dickey.
New diminutions have been written after old examples by members of the ensemble L’Estro d’Orfeo themselves. Trough their delightful arrangements, they introduce us to well-known and less known composers from baroque Spain and Italy. This we can hear on the CD “L’Arte di diminuire”, which has been released in 2020.
We conclude with the CD “La Bella Minuta” of Bruce Dickey, with performances on the cornett.
