Concerts from around the country, recorded by Concertzender (Classical & Early Music).
We have two recordings today, which we made in the Waalse Kerk in Amsterdam: ‘Altijd over de liefde’ by BRISK & Amaryllis Dieltiens and ‘HMS Oriana’ by Compagnie Bischoff & Marieke Grotenhuis.
A) Concert Altijd over de liefde – BRISK and Amaryllis Dieltiens, soprano
Recorder quartet BRISK made together with Amaryllis Dieltiens a programme with 16th and 17th century songs for vocals and instruments: English consort songs, Italian Frottole and madrigals, French chansons and a German song.
Desire, happiness, eroticism, sorrow, jealousy and farewell are all passing in review.
