Renay

There are a thousand ways to write love and a thousand ways to live it. French-Italian mezzo-soprano Lea Desandre and renowned lutenist Thomas Dunford remind us of this by bringing together these works dedicated to love by Italian composers of the 17th century. The dialogue among pieces by Monteverdi, Merula, Kapsberger, and Frescobaldi highlights the richness and complexity of the sentiment. If love songs today have other finery, Lettera amorosa sighs that the motives and messages remain similar.

Vocalist Lea Desandre is a major rising star, and “one of today’s most exciting voices in early-music performance” (The New York Times). For this special recital, she teams up with lutenist Thomas Dunford, hailed as the “Eric Clapton of the lute” (BBC Magazine). Carnegie Hall audiences will recognize them both from a breathtaking 2022 performance with the Jupiter ensemble. The chance to witness their debut duo recital in our most intimate venue is not to be missed.
