Dear all, I just returned from a really nice concert we played with our madrigal ensemble (we had another one on Thursday), which featured mid to late 16th century vocal polyphony as well as some songs and a ballad tune and their divisions by Bassano, Rognoni, van Eyck and the likes (played by recorder and organ/lute). Well, I have to say there are few joys (maybe only one) comparable to playing chamber music! What amazes me most is that you can work on the interpretation and the technique as long as you wish in the rehearsals, but the atmosphere and interactive creativity in concert is fresh and new every time!
Regards, Stephan
