“Of all the wind instruments, the most excellent is the cornetto.”
— Girolamo Dalla Casa, 1584
During Bach’s time, listeners and travelers throughout Europe describe the cornetto as the instrument of kings, heard far and wide in the major courts and churches, whose performances left listeners breathless with praise. Join Bruce Dickey, one of the world’s finest cornettists based in Bologna, Italy, as he performs works of Palestrina, Gabrieli, Frescobaldi and more, accompanied by Dutch organist Liuwe Tamminga, renowned for his performances of early Italian music.
