Theatro dei Cervelli
May 30, 2024
La Edad de Oro de Florencia
Aun estando vinculado a un proyecto más amplio, el doble disco tiene entidad propia, la antología —variadísima, por supuesto, e incompleta, sin duda, como todas— es muy representativa, aporta novedades y las interpretaciones son magníficas.

"Theatro dei Cervelli's squad of 13 singers, recorder, violins, theorbos, viola da gamba and two keyboardists has polished refinement... This revelatory treasure trove is put together impeccably..."

BBC Record Review
"There’s so much variety on this, over such a long historical period and so many different genres, but the quality is very good across the disc and it’s very varied. I think it’s quite a sumptuous recording".

Splendeurs musicales à Florence du Moyen-Age au Baroque
"Ces deux ensembles, complètement informés des divers styles successifs qui ont rythmé ces nombreux siècles, offrent au mélomane une anthologie de référence dans la connaissance de l'univers musical florentin.

"Impresa davvero titanica quella di rappresentare musicalmente una città come Firenze nell’arco di mezzo millennio. È quanto tenta coraggiosamente una sinergia tra il Theatro dei Cervelli diretto da Andrés Locatelli e La Morra, diretto da Corina Marti e Michal Gondko.
E sorprende felicemente come nonostante la grandissima varietà di stili e di prassi esecutive i due ensemble qui impiegati riescano sempre a cogliere l’autenticità".

"The last concert of the day was in the Pieterskerk, and here we were in for a nice surprise. [...] The Theatro dei Cervelli, directed by Andrés Locatelli, who also played the recorder, may have been founded only a few years ago, they have already achieved a high level of musicianship and interpretation. [...] I hope that they will return in one of the next editions and I can't wait to hear them on disc."

"A gaze towards the past with genuine interpretative freshness that was perceived throughout the concert at the Foppone church. The programme, divided into three parts, reflected the different moments of the day with a suggestive symbolic value."
