Domenico Martinelli

Prague - In the grand hall of the Valdštejn Palace, the seat of the Senate in Prague's Malá Strana, American lutenist and singer Joel Frederiksen will perform on Tuesday evening. His concert, A Tribute to Domenico Martinelli, will commemorate the Italian architect's personality through baroque music, who was the creator of the castle in Slavkov u Brna and other buildings in the Czech lands.

    The music program is part of the international non-profit project Martinelli and includes, according to information from today’s press conference, not just a concert in the Czech capital but also in the coming days in the Liechtenstein Palace in Vienna, as well as in Úsová near Mohelnice and in Rousínov near Brno. In recent weeks, concerts have already taken place in Kuks and at the Schleissheim Castle near Munich.
    Frederiksen, a specialist in baroque music, has prepared, in addition to virtuosic Italian pieces from the 17th and 18th centuries, two modern compositions - music by avant-garde Belgian author Willem Cuellerse utilizing poetry and the period biography of Martinelli, and music by American-German composer Lawrence Traiger with texts from the classic of 20th-century American architecture Frank Lloyd Wright. The project also includes lectures.
    Domenico Martinelli (1650 to 1718) brought, according to today’s statement by art historian Jiří Kotalík, to Central Europe "the understanding of what high baroque is" - a synthesis of artistic disciplines into one whole. He influenced all of Central Europe, Kotalík said.
