About this CD
Salomone Rossi was active at the court of the Gonzaga family in Mantua at the turn of the 17th century as violinist and composer. He achieved fame through the music he composed in the most modern styles of the time, but in his later years he also applied the old-fashioned polyphonic principles to the liturgy of his own people, a move that was as controversial as it may have been popular. The present programme shows all facets of the oeuvre of Salomone Rossi, from madrigals to instrumental works and pieces for the Jewish liturgy. Fine versions of Ensemble Daedalus and Robert Festa in a Glossa reissue of an original Accent recording.
