In Concertzender Live on Thursday 23rd May two recordings we made in the Waalse Kerk in Amsterdam: Altijd over de liefde by BRISK & Amaryllis Dieltiens and HMS Oriana by Compagnie Bischoff & Marieke Grotenhuis.
Altijd over de liefde
Recorder quartet BRISK made together with the Belgian soprano Amaryllis Dieltiens a programme with 16th- and 17th century songs for voice and instruments: English consort songs by Bennet and Nicholson, Italian frottole and madrigals by Gabrieli and Tromboncino, French chansons by Clemens and de Sermisy and a German song by Hassler. Longings, happiness, eroticism, sadness, jealousy, and farewell are all present.
