Discover the extraordinary life of Queen Christina of Sweden (1626-1689), one of the 17th century's most unconventional figures. Crowned at the age of six, she then abdicated when she was 28 and travelled from Stockholm to Rome, where she became a celebrated patron of the arts. Her passion for music helped shape Rome into a cultural capital, where she fostered talents such as Scarlatti and Corelli. This album traces her remarkable journey through the music she loved, from Swedish court compositions to Italian Baroque masterpieces.
Concerto Copenhagen, Denmark's acclaimed early music ensemble, now brings this story to life with historical insight and artistic vitality, celebrating a queen who not only defied norms but also left an indelible mark on European culture.
