To round off his lively birthday celebrations, William Christie surrounds himself with a magnificent sextet of singers.
They are one of the Early Music dream teams: mezzo-soprano Lea Desandre, lutenist Thomas Dunford and his French Ensemble Jupiter. What distinguishes them is their singular ability to perform Baroque works with so much energy and vitality that they sound newly-composed. In the final concert of the series Original Sounds, they will highlight two very different British composers: Henry Purcell, famous for his enthralling music for the stage, and John Dowland, best known for his intimate songs and instrumental works. Both shared a remarkable capacity for capturing emotions in music.
