Information about the concert
American countertenor Kangmin Justin Kim will present the world of the Italian chamber cantata through two German composers whose work left a mark on the history of opera. While Handel’s cantata Ah! Crudel, nel pianto mio is the work of a young composer who enjoyed dazzling success in Italy itself, Graun’s work belongs to an entirely diff erent stylistic strand. He never visited Italy, and yet his operatic works had a profound impact on the development of Italian opera north of the Alps. His musical language is signifi cantly influenced by the German artistic movement Empfi ndsamkeit i. e. Sentimentalism.
Program:
- Carl Heinrich Graun: Apollo et Dafne (cantata)
- Baldassare Galuppi: Concerto a quattro no. 4 C minor
- Georg Friedrich Händel: Ah! Crudel, nel pianto mio (cantata)
