We would hardly find a space more appropriate in Prague to host a programme of music by Venetian composers and their followers at the courts in Dresden, Vienna and Brunswick than the Ball-Game Hall of the Prague Castle whose architecture is a product of a collaboration between the Viennese royal architect Boniface Wohlmuth and Aostalli de Sala Ulrico from Italy. The spread-out wings in the title of the concert refer above all to the widespread influence of Venetian Renaissance culture in Europe of the time. The virtuosic, emotional compositions of Johann Rosenmüller, Giovanni Gabrieli and Dario Castello will be performed by the eminent German ensemble Musica Fiata. The vocal solo parts will feature the soprano Dorothee Mields whose unique timbre and spotless technique have made her one of the leading interpreters of 17th- and 18th-century music today.
