Details: Florence, second half of the 14th century: in the heart of a city in full humanist and cultural effervescence, composers such as Francesco degli Organi (or Landini) and Paolo Da Firenze bring the music of their time to it's peak. A unique abundance that the Sollazzo ensemble invites us to discover with this new album. Sollazzo Ensemble was founded in Basel in 2014 and brings together musicians passionately attached to the medieval and Renaissance repertories, with a particular interest in the transition between the two periods. The group is directed by fiddle player Anna Danilevskaia and benefits from the varied musical backgrounds of it's members: while some of them come from families already specializing in early music, others have found their calling by way of modern classical music, folk music, theatre or even musicals.
