Froville - A Night in Flanders

Froville Festival

After Venice, London, and Naples, Ensemble Pulcinella continues its grand musical journey, setting up camp in the former Southern Netherlands. There, in the heart of a region where Italian, German, and French influences intersect, three essential Flemish figures emerge: Van Helmont, Fiocco, and Dall'Abaco. This program resonates with the vibrant energy of this crossroads region. Dall'Abaco's Caprices for solo cello, veritable gems reminiscent of Telemann's Fantasies, resonate with Fiocco's sublime Lamentations (Brussels, 1733), where each Hebrew letter seems sculpted by the voice with a profoundly Italian fervor and expressiveness. Rare and luminous works by Van Helmont complete this striking musical portrait.
