Nihan Devecioglu; Friederike Heumann; Xavier Diaz-Latorre - Early Baroque Music Meets Mediterranian Traditional Songs

The Mediterranean region as a cultural melting pot: along with baroque music by Cavalli, Grandi and Rossi, traditional Sephardic music, songs from Italy, Greece, Turkey, Lebanon and Armenia as well as Portuguese Fado are performed. The viola da gamba as the instrument of the finest sensitivity is grounded here by traditional music of the Mediterranean: Friederike Heumann and the Turkish singer Nihan Devecioglu explore together with the Catalan lutenist Xavier D�az-Latorre new means of expression of Mediterranean soundscapes - as sensual and beguiling as the spices and scents of the Orient.
