FRENCH LOVE SONGS FROM THREE CENTURIES

LEA DESANDRE & THOMAS DUNFORD

When it comes to love, the French are considered experts in all its facets – such as jealousy, bliss and roiling passions. The mezzo-soprano Lea Desandre and the lutist Thomas Dunford, two unique musical temperaments, traverse three centuries of French music about the most-discussed issue in the world. Desandre, who was recently named Singer of the Year by »OPUS Klassik«, is a new star on the international opera firmament; her clear and nuanced voice has won her many admirers. With Thomas Dunford, the »Eric Clapton of the lute«, who is also her partner in real life, she forms a musical dream team. Together, they explore the rich emotional landscape of love before the backdrop of the idyllic Palais im Großen Garten – a profoundly emotional evening awaits!
