No crown!
In 1654, Queen Christina of Sweden abdicated the throne and devoted her life to the arts. Her journey took her from Innsbruck to Rome, where she became one of the leading patrons of music in her time and associated with the city's most prominent figures.
Margret Koell enters the queen's inner circle and has compiled a program of Christina's favorite operatic and chamber music.
Here we encounter works by Froberger and Buxtehude, as well as arias from operas by Cesti, Marazzoli, Rossi, and Pasquini.
She has arranged this music in a dramatic narrative—essentially an opera without words—with various acts, interludes, an overture, and a finale, performed solo on the triple harp.
Margret Koell once again proves herself a leading specialist in the Baroque harp, and with her CD "no crown!" she brings her audience close to one of the most dazzling personalities of the 17th century: Christina of Sweden.
