AAM Concerts old
In lovers’ hearts, ice and fire mingle… and when Claudio Monteverdi published his Madrigals of Love and War he opened the floodgates to a new world of European art: magical tales of bold warriors and lovestruck nymphs, told in music that explored uncharted realms of tenderness, fantasy and drama. With Monteverdi, all bets are off.
But at AAM, those are exactly the odds we like. Directed by Laurence Cummings, and with the stellar voices of tenor Ed Lyon and soprano Anna Dennis, tonight we’re playing for the human heart itself, on an evening-long journey into one of music’s wildest, wittiest and most exquisitely beautiful minds. Monteverdi dedicated this music to an Emperor: today, we’re playing it just for you.
