Love, Loss and Lament
Love, Loss and Lament, is a multi-faceted programme of Italian madrigals from the 16th and 17th centuries, exploring the whole range of emotions that composers and poets summoned up in their works. Landi's pure, classical style and the vivid narratives of Francesco Eredi in his settings of Torquato Tasso; the anguished, drawn-out dissonances of Pallavicino and the fevered chromaticism of Monteverdi's later madrigals: all of these combine to create a dazzling evening of Italian passion and emotion.
