Monteverdi & Bartók is a program of vocal and instrumental music by two composers of extraordinary genius. Claudio Monteverdi (1567 – 1643) and Béla Bartók (1881 – 1945) lived more than three hundred years apart, and share neither language nor culture, yet this unique program weaves together their two musical worlds and reveals not only their differences but also their common ground. Each of these two composers was revolutionary in his time, deeply rooted in a tradition yet creating new musical forms.
The four singers of Monteverdi & Bartók practice the Libero Canto approach to singing, which was originated by Lajos Szamosi (1894 – 1977), who lived and worked in Budapest before the Second World War. All pieces by Bartók, as well Hungarian traditional songs, are sung in Hungarian.
