Programmes - Non-choreographed - 'What passion cannot Music raise and quell!'
Philippa Hyde | soprano |
Daisy Vatalaro | baroque cello |
Helen Rogers | harpsichord |
Revenge, despair, rage and ecstasy! Passion, in all its guises, is the theme of this programme. Hear Octavia's despair turn to fury as she contemplates Nero's unfaithfulness, a set of fiery Variations on the frenzied dance 'La Follia' and a grief stricken lover's lament.
