About the album

Female creative power in the Golden Age: Music around Adriana vanden Bergh, Leonora Duarte and Madeleine Phalèse.
Almost 400 years ago, Amsterdam and Antwerp entered a Golden Age of art and music whose beauty still resonates today. Following the perspectives of three young women (a recorder virtuoso, a composer and a publisher), More than Muses presents a unique soundscape of this cultural flourishing. There is no evidence of a direct meeting between the three women. However, they moved in similar circles and there is evidence that they had common acquaintances. The main common denominator in their biographies is and remains music. Adriana, Madeleine and Leonora are representative of those whose biographies and music have yet to be fully discovered. All three of them contributed considerably to the cultural flourishing of the 17th century – they truly were more than muses.

Weibliche kreative Kraft im Goldenen Zeitalter: Musik rund um Adriana vanden Bergh, Leonora Duarte und Madeleine Phalèse.

Vor fast 400 Jahren erlebten Amsterdam und Antwerpen ein Goldenes Zeitalter der Kunst und Musik, dessen Schönheit bis heute nachhallt. Aus der Perspektive dreier junger Frauen (eine Blockflötenvirtuosin, eine Komponistin und eine Verlegerin) präsentiert More than Muses eine einzigartige Klanglandschaft dieser kulturellen Blütezeit. Es gibt keine Belege für ein direktes Zusammentreffen der drei Frauen. Sie bewegten sich jedoch in ähnlichen Kreisen und es gibt Hinweise darauf, dass sie gemeinsame Bekannte hatten. Der wichtigste gemeinsame Nenner in ihren Biografien ist und bleibt die Musik. Adriana, Madeleine und Leonora stehen stellvertretend für diejenigen, deren Biografien und Musik noch vollständig entdeckt werden müssen. Alle drei trugen wesentlich zur kulturellen Blüte des 17. Jahrhunderts bei – sie waren wahrhaft mehr als Musen.

Tabea Schwartz (recorder)

Tabea Schwartz is inspired in her artistic work by the tonal diversity of the recorder in the musical languages from the Middle Ages up to the present day. She has performed throughout Europe as a soloist and in various ensembles as well as co-founding her own concert series, ReRenaissance. Her creative focus lies in the music of the Baroque and Renaissance periods, occasionally complemented by fruitful collaborations with composers. Tabea Schwartz also expresses her artistic versatility and professional joy of playing through her cultivated multi-instrumentalism with her second instrument, the viol. The sound of the bowed instruments complements that of the wind instruments in a special way and promotes a depth in understanding of the music from different perspectives. This...

She has performed throughout Europe as a soloist and in various ensembles as well as co-founding her own concert series, ReRenaissance. Her creative focus lies in the music of the Baroque and Renaissance periods, occasionally complemented by fruitful collaborations with composers. Tabea Schwartz also expresses her artistic versatility and professional joy of playing through her cultivated multi-instrumentalism with her second instrument, the viol. The sound of the bowed instruments complements that of the wind instruments in a special way and promotes a depth in understanding of the music from different perspectives. This in turn inspires her to create unique concert programmes, for which she also undertakes research and musical direction. Her ensemble Vernon Consort brings together players from seven different countries, united by their interest and expertise in authentic expressivity when performing 17th century music.
