Le Poème Harmonique: Allegri's Miserere

Counting historical instruments such as the theorbo and the lirone among their ranks, Le Poème Harmonique teases out the atmospheric and strange from even the most familiar of repertoire. This programme, which includes Allegri’s famous Miserere mei Deus, brings together works that were transformed from profane settings to the spiritual when rewritten and reinterpreted by the poets of the day.
