Firmly established on the Early Music scene, soprano soloist Ulrike Hofbauer
regularly performs together with renowned ensembles and conductors.
A versatile artist, she not only appears on the concert platform but
also on the opera stage and features on many CD and radio recordings as
well as in films. She is particularly interested in the study of musical rhetoric,
ornamentation and the “recitar cantando” style, making her an ideal
interpreter of the works recorded here.
Co’l dolce suono presents virtuosic Renaissance music for soprano, recorder
and strings by Venetian artists around the composer Adrian Willaert and
the singer Polissena Pecorina. Recorded with an ensemble of early Italian
viols, painstakingly reconstructed following the latest scholarly findings, a
new soundworld emerges: current research documents that string instruments
of the early sixteenth century were built without sound posts and
bass bars. Performing these sparkling Renaissance works, the sound of these instruments can now be experienced
for the first time.
The ensemble arcimboldo (Basel) was founded in 1991 by Thilo Hirsch. Outstanding reviews, numerous
concert engagements, and frequent invitations to European festivals document the ensemble’s success. Alongside
radio recordings the ensemble has recorded several CDs since 2005
