Rolf Lislevand and Concerto Stella Matutina first worked on a project
in 2011, which would result in a prosperous collaboration in concert
series and now, the release of their first CD together. The album is a
mix of baroque and jazz as well as improvised passages with music
arranged for the 12 people orchestra by Andrea Falconieri, Giovanni
Girolamo Kapsberger, Girolamo Frescobaldi, Johann Heinrich Schmelzer and
Vincenzo Albrici. Bringing the elements of baroque and jazz together
and developing a new kind of music by optimizing the instruments of
Early Music and giving each instrument section its moment on the
recording was the goal of this release. With this intimate and
well mixed recording, the musicians did not aim to create crossover music or
fit into any other genre but rather generate a sound that is a
symbiosis of different musical elements.
Virtuoso of the lute and Baroque guitar Rolf Lislevand is one of the
most charismatic figures in today’s early music scene. Lislevand, whose
solo recordings have won numerous awards, has been professor of lute and
historical performance at Trossingen Musikhochschule since 1993.
Since the establishment of the Baroque orchestra 2005 the number of
engagements at home and abroad has been growing. Concerto Stella
Matutina has its own concert series in Vorarlberg and has gained an ever
growing core audience in a very short time. The musicians, next to the
interpretation of familiar masterpieces, also pay special attention to
forgotten works of the 17th and 18th centuries.
