The Sixteen, directed by Eamonn Dougan, give us a peek into musical life at the court of Sigismund III Vasa (1566-1632) who favored Italian composers like Luca Marenzio. Charles Ferdinand Vasa (1613-1655) preferred homegrown composers like Marcin Mielczewski, and we'll hear his works performed by Weser Renaissance Bremen.
