Cremonesi belongs to the generation of early music makers who are now free, cheeky and fresh to concentrate on making music. Color, lust for life, nuances, fragrances, seduction – these are the categories of this musician. For Purcell’s tragic love story, Cremonesi uses 22 strings from Berlin’s Academy for Early Music; they are far from producing a thick espressivo sound. The conductor conjures up airy dances with them … this is a homage to weightlessness, to the quiet, to the playful – to the divine.
