Cornetto – instrument of the human voiceDanish cornettist and recorder player Lene Langballe and Icelandic organist and harpsichordist Lára Bryndís Eggertsdóttir perform a program of music from the golden age of the cornetto. Today the cornetto is not among the most well known instruments but in the renaissance and during the early baroque the cornetto was the preferred of all wind instruments because of it’s sound that comes very close to the human voice. Lene and Lára Bryndís perform Frescobaldi, Fontana, Bassano, Dowland and more composers of early music.
