About this concert
A hundred years of Neapolitan music for violin consort and basso continuo: this is the tasty menu Enrico Gatti and his Ensemble Aurora have prepared for your listening pleasure. The flourishing musical life of Naples around 1700 was the breeding ground for many styles and genres. Ensemble Aurora explores the terrain between the church sonatas of Marchitelli, toccatas by Supriani, and the late chamber concertos by Fiorenza and Leo.

About the performers
Ensemble Aurora was founded in 1986 by Italian violinist Enrico Gatti. Through research and performance the ensemble concerns itself with Italy’s musical heritage. They focus on one of the most typical characteristics of the Baroque: the imitation of nature, to which the human voice, with its dynamics, pronunciation and articulation, also belongs. The ensemble has twice (in 1993 and 1998) won the International Antonio Vivaldi Prize for the best CD of Italian instrumental music, and has also been awarded several Diapasons d’Or, especially for their recordings of music by Corelli.
