ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON THIS PERFORMANCE
In 1558, Emperor Emeritus Charles V staged a mock ceremony for his own funeral. Delusions of grandeur of a power-hungry, or control-compulsion of a perfectionist? It is certain that the exercise came just in time: the monarch died two weeks later. The intriguing fact of a requiem rehearsal gave artist in residence Simon-Pierre Bestion the idea of creating an imaginary requiem, with medieval songs and Renaissance polyphony by Gombert , Crecquillon , de Morales and de Orto , among others .
‘Repertoire that I just love,’ says Bestion , who with four soloists, choir and orchestra puts in the necessary pomp and circumstance . With a light creation by stained glass artist Marianne Pelcerf as a visual trigger, Bomba Flamenca becomes an evocation of (pre-)Renaissance Spain.
