IL MANTOVANO HEBREO

Court composer in the service of the Gonzaga family, colleague and collaborator of Claudio Monteverdi, Salomone Rossi was one of the most significant composers of the time, who wrote many refined madrigals but also polyphonic settings of Hebrew prayer and psalms for the Synagogue. Sacred and secular, past and present intertwine in the concert of I Profeti della Quinta, ensemble based in Switzerland, where all its members studied at the Schola Cantorum Basiliensis. Founder of the ensemble is the native Hebrew speaking Elam Rotem, whose original compositions cross over the ages and dialogue with the music of Salomone Rossi Hebreo.
