Musikalischer Salon mit Prof. Dr. Silke Leoplod

Silke Leopold, author of numerous books on Renaissance and Baroque music, explains the life and work of Claudio Monteverdi in a clear and informative way.

Silke Leopold, author of numerous books on Renaissance and Baroque music, explains the life and work of Claudio Monteverdi in a clear and informative way in her biography of the composer, published in 2017, after concentrating more on the musical aspects of his work in her volume "Claudio Monteverdi und seine Zeit" (2002). Who better than her to introduce us to the mysteries of his great sacred composition Vespro della Beata Vergine (original title of the Vespers of the Virgin Mary)? This compendium of Monteverdi's extraordinary creativity still contains many ambiguities regarding its conception and performance practice.
