Peter Paul Rubens lived precisely within one of the most exciting periods of the history of music, one that stretched from the summit of the Renaissance polyphonic style to the beginnings of the Baroque period and of opera. + Released in connection with the exhibition ‘Rubens and his Heritage’ (Bozar (The Center for Fine Arts), Brussels from 25 September 2014 to 4 January 2015)), this CD presents examples of the major musical genres that Rubens would have heard during his visits to Brussels, London, Rome, Venice, Mantua, Madrid and Paris.
