About this concert

Fake news, propaganda, populism: excesses of the modern age? Not at all, as Clément Janequin and Mateo Flecha reveal. Flecha pieced together music by top composers into polyphonic ensaladas that legitimised the power of the emperor. And Janequin created a war tableau with La Guerre that radiated off Werrecorre's La Battaglia Taliana and the ensalada La Guerra. With fresh voices and masses of storytelling ability, Cantoría cracks the code behind the notes.
