The theme of love and flirting was treated in the Baroque period...
...as well as in the 20th century.
We have dedicated ourselves to baroque music...
...and we practice it every day,
in our concerts, with our students.
Bossa Nova is the music one enjoys listening to once at home,
the music that makes one dream.
There are connections between these styles, these aesthetics.
When working on the accompaniment of baroque music,
we realized that if one adds all the elements that were recommended...
...in terms of embellishments, passing notes, added harmony notes...
...to enrich the accompaniment chords,
the harmonic progressions then become very similar...
...to the harmonic progressions belonging to Brazilian Bossa Nova of the 60s.
Ronaldo suggested to Christophe that he should work with us...
...because it seemed to him that his temperament and his performing qualities...
...were most appropriate to deal with Bossa Nova.
I slow down, I pray, I cry, I sigh...
...and you don't hear!
We immediately thought Rodrigo Calveyra should be part of the project...
...because we knew his way of handling Italian baroque music.
We needed a recorder player and they used to play together...
...when they were young...
...so it was a pleasure to work with him for this program.
