About

Venice has been a magnet for travellers from all over the world for centuries. In addition to the palazzi built on piles, the squares and churches and the impressive art history, the lagoon city is also famous for its living landmarks: the singing “gondoliers” on the many water channels.

Goethe, Rousseau and Mozart were also impressed by the songs of the boatmen. On his debut album for Prospero Classical, baritone Holger Falk slips into the Venetian gondola role and takes the audience on a journey through centuries of song repertoire.

Also on board his concert gondola, the renowned early music ensemble Nuovo Aspetto and the electro duo Merzouga, which provides fascinating sound impressions (from the Venice of our day) from important places and institutions in the lagoon city.

With “Il Gondoliere Veneziano” Holger Falk presents a fascinating musical voyage through the historic and contemporary Venice. Music by many anonymous composers, but also by André Campra, Johann Simon Mayr, Giuseppe Tartini and Antonio Vivaldi.
