Artistic Director Paul Flight and the award-winning California Bach Society present the U.S. premiere of Antonio Bertali’s Missa Redemptoris, for eight vocal soloists, chorus, brass, and strings. The 30-voice chorus is joined by a period instrument orchestra of cornettos, sackbuts, and strings, with soloists sopranos Christa Pfeiffer and Caroline Jou Armitage, mezzo-soprano Gabriela Estephanie Solis, tenors Tim Silva and Michael Desnoyers, and basses Clayton Moser and Adam Cole.
Giovanni Valentini was a student of the great Giovanni Gabrieli, and his music reflects that legacy. CBS performs a selection of his deeply expressive madrigals written for voices and obbligato instruments.
Valentini’s successor at the Hapsburg court, Antonio Bertali, excelled in compositions for large forces. CBS is excited to present the U.S. premiere of Bertali’s Missa Redemptoris, with its alternating groups of soloists, chorus, brass, and strings.
