English Lute Songs with Emma Kirkby

tue 15 sep 2015
Theme: Early Music

In Concertzender Live on Thursday 17th September (20.00-22.00) we're playing two recordings: a concert given by the soprano Emma Kirkby and a Fringeconcert at the Utrecht Early Music Festival 2014.

 

English Lute Songs

In March of this year the British soprano Dame Emma Kirkby and lutenist Jakob Lindberg toured the Netherlands in the Early Music Season 2014-2015. On 19th March 2015 they were in Hertz at TivoliVredenburg, Utrecht.

 

They performed the programme 'English lute songs'. In the England of the 16th century Shakespeare's loquacity was equalled in songs by Dowland and his colleagues. The subtle and comforting lute is the ideal accompaniment for the human voice. Dame Emma Kirkby sings, accompanied by lutenist Jakob Lindberg, about creation and change, about heroism and fate, about Ariadne, Orpheus, Venus and Dido.
