The sumptuous music of Giovanni Paolo Colonna is brought to life in this concert recording to honour Bologna’s patron saint at the Chapel of San Petronio Basilica – the very place in which this great musician was organist and chapel master in the mid-17th century. The works in this programme are rarely heard due to their grandiose proportions and virtuoso demands in performance. They include the colossal Dixit for two choirs, trumpet fanfare and strings, as well as the dazzling Beatus vir, possibly the earliest ever example of a concerto grosso.
