Program Notes
Anonymous 4
These four young women singers are on every audience's wish list. Moving and stylish interpretations of very early repertoire.Program
"The Second Circle" (the lustful lovers' ring of hell in Dante's Inferno), features the music of Francesco Landini (c. 1325 - 1397), the blind Florentine organist and the most renowned of the Italian trecento composers. Landinis love songs - madrigals and ballate for two and three voices - combine seductive Italian melody with rich harmony in the French style. Anonymouns 4 will weave these exquisite songs together with poetry from Dante's Divine Comedy and Vita Nuova, on the eternal subjects of love, lust and the divine Beatrice.
