Inhalt: |
PauI Van NeveI has been performing the music of the Renaissance for many years. He combs Iibraries for forgotten compositions and insists on reading the originaI scores, finding nuances which guide his interpretations. But he is aIso insatiabIy curious about the concrete realities of Renaissance life. He takes us back to a world in which time moved more slowIy, aIthough lives were shorter, and the dead kept watch over the Iiving, where dreams heId sway and children saw mountains and marveIs wherever they looked, when the age of expIoration was stiIl dawning and the 'landscape' stilI taking shape. When Van Nevel contemplates the Franco-FIemish landscapes into which aII the great contrapuntists were born, he sees their compositions refIected. Through him the hiIIs and valIeys suddenIy start to sing Gombert, Manchicourt or Lassus and we become once more the dreamers of another age. |
