The Sixteen
The Sixteen and director Harry Christophers perform choral works by Monteverdi before being joined by jazz pianist Julian Joseph for some Monteverdi-based improvisations.
Presented by Petroc Trelawny
A double-bill of Monteverdi concerts from the Spitalfields Festival in one programme. In the first concert the Sixteen and Harry Christophers perform sacred music by Monteverdi - some of his most vivacious works. In the second, the charismatic jazz pianist Julian Joseph joins them for some embellishment of Monteverdi's music. Extemporisation is something that Monteverdi would have been familiar with, and his musicians would have expected to have some freedom of expression. Here, with Julian Joseph and his bass player, Mark Hodgson, the Sixteen see how far they can take the idea of a baroque-jazz synthesis.
