Jonathan Swain presents a rare performance of Michelangelo Falvetti's oratorio Nabucco given in Brussels. Plus Dvorak from the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra.
Jonathan Swain presents a rare performance of the oratorio Nabucco by Michelangelo Falvetti from last year's Wallonie Festival in Brussels. Falvetti was born in 1642 in Palermo. He had a successful career in Messina, and was appointed maestro di cappella at the cathedral there in 1682. The conductor Leonardo Garcia Alarcón has championed this little-known composer, and brings out the unusual colours in this rare work. After that the programme ends with Dvorak from the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra.
