Die Schloss Weißenbrunn Stiftung richtete im Mai 2020 erstmals einen Wettbewerb zur Diminutionspraxis des 16. und 17. Jahrhunderts für Sängerinnen und Sänger aus.
Im Mittelpunkt des Wettbewerbs stand der Namensgeber Giovanni Battista Bovicelli, der am Ende des 16. Jahrhunderts einen neuen Verzierungsstil lehrte und dessen Lehrwerk heutigen Sängerinnen und Sängern einen lebendigen Einblick in die Aufführungspraxis der Renaissance und des Frühbarock gewährt.
Wir freuen uns über 91 Video-Beiträge aus aller Welt, die für den Bovicelli-Wettbewerb 2020 eingereicht wurden! Lassen Sie sich inspirieren von der stilistischen Vielfalt der Beiträge und den variantenreichen Diminutionen.
In 2020, the Schloss Weißenbrunn Stiftung (Weißenbrunn Castle Foundation) organised the first competition for singers on the diminution practices of the 16th and 17th centuries.
The focus of this year’s competition was Giovanni Battista Bovicelli, the person after whom the competition is named, who taught a new style of embellishment at the end of the 16th century. His treatise, Regole, passaggi di musica, gives today’s singers a lively insight into the performance practices of the Renaissance and early Baroque periods.
We are happy to present 91 contributions from all over the world to the 2020 Bovicelli competition! Be inspired by their stylistic diversity and the variety of diminuitions.
