Manage episode 481411851 series 2425178
In this podcast Skip Sempé introduces his new album of music by John Dowland and talks about the Renaissance orchestra and why it creates such a unique and beautiful sound. According to Sempé: "The idea of a ‘Renaissance Orchestra’ in which all the different instrumental consorts are brought together is the overlooked message of these sixteenth- and seventeenth-century publications. Large ensembles, for important or commemorative occasions, were every bit as much the ‘composer’s intention’ as were smaller, intimate groups."
