The 2011 Auckland Arts Festival presents:
TIMELESS, Lautten Compagney (Germany)
Take this rare opportunity to delight in one of the world’s most outstanding period ensembles, The Lautten Compagney – a Baroque Ensemble from Berlin, founded by lutenists Wofgang Katschner and Hans-Werner Apel.
In this second concert (see also Lautten Compagney: Handel with Care) the company performs Timeless, the music of Tarquino Merula and Philip Glass. The ensemble’s recording of this work won the prestigious 2010 Echo Klassik Ensemble of the Year award (the German equivalent of the Grammys).
“The musicians who have grouped together ... not only perform early music in its diversity and vitality but also know how to add the fresh colour of improvised elements to a pristine sound experience.”
- Fuldaer Zeitung (GERMANY)
