An Immersive Liturgical Experience of Two Musical Masters from 18th Century Spain. Innsbruck Festival of Early Music’s “Musica Hispanica” was an enriching evening of extraordinary compositions that resonated well with Innsbruck’s Jesuit Church (est. 1562). The church is considered one of Innsbruck’s earliest examples of Baroque architecture. Though it collapsed in 1626, shortly after its construction (1619-1622), “the misfortune turned out to be a blessing, because the church was now planned to be even larger and more beautiful than before.” So it was that the religious space began its transformation into what is, today, an ideal venue for a festival of early music. The artists featured for this performance were members from the Switzerland-based ensemble Los Elementos, including Jaia Nurit Niborski and Gunta Smirnova, soprano; Alberto Palacios Guardia, tenor; Mauro Borgioni and Santiago Garzón Arredondo, baritone; Claudio Rado and Jaume Guri Batlle, violin; Elena Abbati, viola; Giulio Padoin, cello; Giulio Tanasini, double bass; Olga Marulanda and Linda Alijaj, oboe; Chiara Granata, harp; Deniel Perer, organ; and Alberto Miguélez Rouco, countertenor and musical director. The group was founded in 2018 for the purpose of performing José de Nebra’s zarzuela “Vendado es Amor, no es ciego” for the first time with historical instruments. All of this began in Basel, where the founding members met while at the Schola Cantorum Basiliensis.
