La meraviglia parlante

Theatrum Affectuum, founded in 2003, specialises in music from 17th and 18th century Italy and Germany. Using the combination of recorder, one or two violins, cello and harpsichord, the ensemble has an individual, energetic and insightful approach to interpret the contrasting affects found in baroque music. Press reviews have described the ensemble’s interpretations as both profound and witty. Also the incorporation of the extensive improvisations in different styles from the baroque is one of the group’s prominent features. La meraviglia parlante has been received with great success in Europe, Japan and Australia.

Compositions by Antonio Vivaldi, Girolamo Frescobaldi, Salvatore Lanzetti, Francesco Mancini, Giovanni Paolo Cima, Dario Castello & Fray Bartolome Selma y Salaverde.

Jazz saxophonist Andreas Böhlen’s debut album offers an innovative blend of fiery grooves, modern-jazz-complexity and lyrical moments. Böhlen’s compositions and improvisations are partly influenced by his background in classical early music, and yet they sit comfortably in the idiom of Modern Jazz. The end result is an absorbing and precise musical statement.Jazz saxophonist Andreas Böhlen’s debut album, offers an innovative blend of fiery grooves, modern-jazz-complexity and lyrical moments.
