About this concert
Even in the gilded halls of the Sun King's palace, sighs of sorrow and pain could sometimes be heard. Ensemble Cordevento, the trio founded by recorder virtuoso Erik Bosgraaf, reveals the intimate side of late seventeenth and early eighteenth century France with a selection of plaintes and tombeaux – the instrumental equivalents of the Baroque lamento – by Marais, d'Anglebert, Hotteterre and contemporaries.

About the performers
Erik Bosgraaf is one of today’s most virtuosic and adventurous recorder players. He improvises, plays jazz, works with electronics and seeks cooperation with other artistic disciplines. His repertoire ranges from medieval music to Vivaldi's Four Seasons and contemporary repertoire. Pierre Boulez, for example, gave him personal permission to adapt his clarinet composition Dialogue de l'ombre double for recorder. In 2006 Bosgraaf made his international breakthrough with his recording of Jacob van Eyck's Der Fluyten Lust-hof (The Flute’s Garden of Delights). As a soloist he has performed with the Dallas Symphony Orchestra, the Netherlands Radio Philharmonic Orchestra and Concerto Köln, to name but a few. In 2011 Bosgraaf was awarded the Dutch Music Award, the highest accolade that can be awarded by the Ministry of Education, Culture and Science in the field of music.
Ensemble Cordevento started out as, and has remained, a trio, consisting of Erik Bosgraaf (recorder), Izhar Elias (guitar) and Alessandro Pianu (harpsichord and organ). The trio focuses mainly on music from the seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries, but Ensemble Cordevento also performs as a small Baroque orchestra, usually playing one to a part. Cordevento has made numerous CD recordings including works by Vivaldi, Bach and Telemann. Their most recent album, Le Plaintif, has been nominated for the International Classical Music Awards 2022.
