Early Austrian Music by women from Prague and Poland

In ‘Concertzender Live’ on Thursday 14th May (20:00-22:00) you can hear Early Music from Austria, performed by women musicians from Prague and Poland.

These are recordings we made during the Utrecht Early Music Festival 2014. You can hear
the concerts by the Prague ensemble Tiburtina and the
Polish Malgosia Fiebig, the
carillon player from the Utrecht Dom Tower.

'Regina Lucti' or "The grieving King": Spiritual and lyrical
poetry from around 1300 which was played at the court of King Wenceslaus II. This music is
being heard for the first time in 700 years. It consists of music and poetry dedicated to his wife, Judith van Habsburg. It includes lovesongs from the king himself, from Walther von der Vogelweide and from Heinrich Frauenlob.

Het Tiburtina Ensemble is conducted by the soprano Barbora Sojková, who also plays the Roman harp. The very popular soprano and harpist Hana Blažíková is
also a member of this Prague vocal ensemble, which from 1-7 May is touring the Netherlands with the visionary music of Hildegard von Bingen!

These recordings were made
on 3rd September 2014 in the Pandhof of the Dom Tower in Utrecht.
