LUDUS DANIELIS – A Medieval Drama | Pro Musica Firenze & Consort Fontegara

Ludus Danielis, Dramma liturgico del XII secolo – Clemencic Consort is curated by the “Pro Musica Firenze” complex with the “Fontegara Consort” directed by Valente Gori. A true gem created in 1995 and completely absent in the world of the web. I did some research and managed to find very little, but from the album booklet I can report that the Pro Musica group boasts a great repertoire that begins with Gregorian chant and then moves on to polyphony and madrigals, reaching up to 18th century repertoires.

The Fontegara consort, on the other hand, is made up of musicians who, starting from the 90s of the last century, have collaborated with fundamental ensembles of ancient music and under the direction of maestro René Clemencic have created the first complete recording of Giovanni Gabrieli’s works “Canzoni e sonate per sonar con ogni sorte de instrumenti”.

I wish you happy listening!
