Solothurn Baroque Days - Ensemble Tra Noi: In the Circle of Ottoboni
Overview
Intro
Italian musical culture from Cardinal Pietro Ottoboni’s Palazzo della Cancelleria.
In Rome at the end of the 18th century, he was one of the city’s most influential patrons of music: Pietro Ottoboni. The art-loving cardinal gathered all the leading figures in the composers’ guild at his Palazzo della Cancelleria—which he had transformed into a cultural center in the heart of Rome—and commissioned operas and oratorios, as well as cantatas and instrumental music, from the most prominent composers of the time, including Arcangelo Corelli, Alessandro and Domenico Scarlatti, and George Frideric Handel. Domenico Scarlatti and George Frideric Handel even competed against each other on the harpsichord and organ at the Ottoboni residence. In addition, he wrote librettos himself.
In its concert, the Basel-based Ensemble Tra Noi traces the legacy of this distinguished circle of artists, highlighting not only instrumental but also vocal music, arranged for violin, recorder, viola da gamba/quintone, and harpsichord.
