BREMF@home: The Madrigal Reimagined

with
Toby Carr lute, theorbo

The ever-flexible madrigal was always a blank canvas subject to endless interpretations depending on the resources and imagination of the performers. Adding some ornamental ‘frizzante’ this programme explores the full dramatic possibilities of the form, vocally and instrumentally, including music by Monteverdi and words from Ovid.

Filmed live at Royal Spa, Brighton in July 2021
