Artists: Profeti della Quinta, directed by Elam Rotem
At the dawn of the 17th century, two composers employed by the House of Gonzaga in Mantua signaled the transition from the Renaissance to the Baroque era: Salomone Rossi (ca. 1570-ca. 1630) and Claudio Monteverdi (1567-1643). Both progressed with time and musical taste, and pioneered the “new” musical style with basso continuo. Moreover, they must have known each other personally and made music together: Rossi, who was Jewish, played at court where Monteverdi was the “Maestro della musica”, and the two collaborated in composing an Intermedio for the Gonzagas. Rossi’s sister, known as “Madama Europa”, was a singer who performed in Monteverdi’s opera L’Arianna and probably in other works of his as well.
