  • Description

    In this new recording the Terra Nova Collective present sacred music by Dutch composer Hendrick Tobi, under the direction of Vlad Weverbergh. Henrik ("Rik") Tobi must have been one of the foremost composers in Antwerp around the end of the eighteenth century. While Antwerp may have been a sparsely populated city and its cultural life was not what it used to be in the time of Rubens and Jordaens, it was by no means a cultural wasteland.

    The Terra Nova Collective, with artistic director Vlad Weverbergh at the helm, was launched in Antwerp in 2012. The object of the new initiative was to generate interest in the many musical gems created by the composers of the Southern Netherlands with particular attention for the repertoire of the classical and romantic periods.

    The intrinsic quality of these rediscovered works is revealed when they are performed in the context of more canonical pieces of the Western classical repertoire and gives audiences a chance to enjoy the remarkable diversity of European classical music in the second half of the 18th century and the early 19th century. From the very outset Terra Nova Collective has enjoyed improvising on the fashions in concert etiquette of the period, alternating symphonic movements with concertos and arias, or even performing a series of selections from different works for chamber ensembles.

    Terra Nova's concerts always include top pieces by composers as well-known as Haydn, Mozart and Beethoven along with musical gems by sadly neglected composers such as Pieter van Maldere, Henri Joseph Tobi, Hebert Leemans and many others.

    The ensemble invites the listener to join them on a journey that revisits the time-honoured tradition of musical exchange and offers new insights into the shared musical heritage of the period.
