Songs of Passion - Ambronay Festival (2024) - Songs of Passion - Festival d'Ambronay (2024)

Description

"Lea Desandre is now a star of French lyric singing that the greatest international stages are fighting over. Her magnificent mezzo-soprano voice will work wonders in this English program constructed as a mirror. John Dowland's Lute Songs (Come again; Go crystal tears...) will be followed by opera arias by Henry Purcell ("When I am laid" from Dido and Aeneas...). The Jupiter ensemble led by its long-time accomplice Thomas Dunford will be a first-rate companion on this journey to the heart of 17th century England."
