…And it is the creative or perhaps hermeneutical aspect of early music that we treasure most: we were given the gift of being able to perform and revive wonderful music, and reciprocate with the emotional “reactions” of musicians who are given the opportunity to interpret it, respecting the indications stipulated in the written music, or sometimes simply experiencing its allure and listen, adoringly, in absolute silence. A relationship results that is almost a dialogue with the music that the past has handed down to us: the music speaks to us and we respond with today’s sensitivity and liveliness. The times we live in call for vital and harmonious evidence of age-old and ancestral sentiments, that more strongly fuse today’s passion with past love for beauty, in sweet nostalgia that knows no longing. The modern era craves these pure gestures to enrich and complete our daily life.
