THE WORLD OF THE CASTRATI
Concilium musicum Wien (Austria)
In programme: Fux, Gluck, Haydn, Vivaldi, Hasse
The use of castrati in professional music could be considered one of the most intriguing and controversial topics in western art music history, perhaps known the best through the legendary film „Farinelli“ created in 1994. The subject of castrati and their repertoire still fascinates musicians, nowadays the music of this era is performed, of course, by high male voices or female singers. The Austrian ensemble Concilium musicum Wien, which introduces the captivating world of the castrati at the Glasperlenspiel, can be proud of its rich history – this year marks the 40th anniversary of the collective. Concilium musicum Wien has played almost all over the world, performing in cities, fortresses, monasteries and churches and participating in numerous international festivals. Speaking of numbers, the ensemble has given over 3200 concerts in 700 different cities and has performed more than 600 different works by about 300 composers. The ensemble’s high-level performance art has been captured on several CDs, radio recordings and TV productions. Mozart Society and the City of Vienna has awarded the collective with the Mozart Interpretation Prize „Flötenuhr“ for the recording of Mozart’s church sonatas.
