MODERN AND BAROQUE SOUND IMAGES OF TRANSIENCE
Those who set out on the traces of vanitas - transience and fleetingness - need not go far. It is in everything and in all, and despite its horror, it is at the same time the all-pervading, sense-giving, essential factor. In this programme, contemporary sound images of vanitas are juxtaposed with those from past epochs, such as that of the great baroque master and melancholic Henry Purcell.
Artists: Sebastian Giussani, electronics - Iris Lichtinger, flauto dolce- Marlis Neumann, harp- Wolfram Oettl, harpsichord- Sophia Rieth, flauto dolce- Jacopo Sabina, lute - Joseph Warner, double bass
