Queen Christina

Description

Discover the extraordinary life of Queen Christina of Sweden (1626-1689), one of the most unique figures of the 17th century. Crowned at the age of six, she abdicates at twenty-eight and embarks on a journey from Stockholm to Rome, where she becomes a leading patron of the arts. Her passion for music helps make Rome a true cultural capital, notably supporting talents such as Alessandro Scarlatti and Arcangelo Corelli. This album traces her exceptional journey through the music she loved, from compositions of the Swedish court to masterpieces of the Italian Baroque. With its keen sense of historical interpretation and infectious artistic energy, Concerto Copenhagen, one of Denmark's most renowned early music ensembles, brings this fascinating story to life. It thus celebrates a queen who, far beyond the conventions of her time, left a lasting mark on European culture.
