Du angenehme Nachtigall (Oh Delightful Nightingale) - Collegium 'Flauto e voce'
Product Details
Product Description
The primary interest of the Collegium “Flauto e voce” is in performing original compositions from the 17th through 20th centuries for one or more voices with a variety of flute instruments. Many of the works, which have been published in the series Flauto e voce by Carus Verlag, have been performed by the Collegium and its founder, Peter Thalheimer with the singers Susan Eitrichand Ute Kreidler for the first time since they were composed.
With “Du angenehme Nachtigall” a fraction of this charming, still undiscovered repertoire is now presented on CD. Through numerous “bird arias and love songs from the baroque”, the listener experiences a musical journey through Germany, France, Italy and England, which includes works by Reinhard Keiser, Jean-Baptiste Lully, Antonio Vivaldi and Henry Purcell.

Delightful discoveries to be made!

In their “Flauto e voce” series, baroque ensemble Collegium have performed many delightful works for the first time since they were composed. This collection takes as its inspiration that oft-hymned songster of the woods, the humble Nightingale. This generously filled CD includes charming, undiscovered repertoire and takes the listener on a musical journey through Germany, France, Italy and England, including works by Keiser, Lully, Vivaldi and Purcell.
The Nightingale is featured both in imitation on the baroque flute but also via some ravishing singing from three magnificent German vocalists. I can't find a sample of this CD so you will have to take my word for the pleasures contained therein. Suffice it to say, the first time we popped it on in the store, three copies walked out the door. A palpable hit!
