Rebecca Leggett, mezzo soprano, and Hugh Cutting, countertenor, both Kathleen Ferrier Award finalists, are joined by lutenist Daniel Murphy in this programme which takes the golden age of lutesong as its basis with works of Dowland, Campion, Strozzi and Monteverdi. The affects of these masterpieces are then mirrored, answered or developed in later song repertoire from art song composers such as Hahn, Mendelssohn, and Britten, and by artists like Fleetwood Mac, Don McLean and The Beatles. It’s a celebration of the ways that songwriters have coloured and re-coloured our experience of love in all its forms.
