Ars Nova is a collection of a “different” classical music. It was conceived by specialists and musicologists who, with their research and historical reconstruction, went beyond the merely consumer aspect of classical music. In fact we will not find the usual record proposals, but these are gathered works from centuries often forgotten, which instead are plentiful and rich in musical material of a pure beauty and still a true nourishment for the spirit. The use of antique musical instruments in studio or in original settings reproduce, preserve and record the native atmospheres.
