About

This Baroque aviary playfully presents arias and instrumental pieces that reflect on the topic of birdsong in virtuosic fashion. Works by Handel, Telemann, Couperin and Hasse sound out the nightingale and cuckoo, as well as other species. In the mid-17th century, the polymath Athanasius Kircher considered the song of the nightingale to be an ideal from which composers could learn “how a perfect song should be devised”.
