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.
Musical forces from Imperial join Coventry Cathedral Chorus, Orpheus Sinfonia and the choristers of St George’s Chapel for an anniversary performance of Britten’s monumental War Requiem.
