Michna and Monteverdi

9th season of Bach na Mozarta! programme A. Works by A. V. Michna of Otradovic, C. Monteverdi, G. Valentini, G. Frescobaldi, A. Bertali. Conductor Roman Válek. Performed by SILENTIUM! ensemble and Czech Ensemble Baroque.

The concert presents Adam Michna of Otradovic from a lesser-known perspective - as the composer of larger-scale works from the cycle Sacra et Litaniae. These compositions show parallels with Claudio Monteverdi's monumental collection Selva morale e spirituale, giving Michna's work an entirely new, European significance.
