The early Baroque marked a turning-point in musical history – away from the balanced polyphony of the Renaissance toward a more emotional, affect-driven language.



Michele Pasotti and his ensemble La Fonte Musica bring this epoch to life in their programme La sera del combattimento (“The Evening of the Duel”). They reconstruct the premiere of Monteverdi’s madrigal Il combattimento di Tancredi e Clorinda, in which two lovers unknowingly fight each other.


To highlight its dramatic novelty, as was the practice in Monteverdi’s time, the programme begins with vocal works in an earlier style.
