Overview

Anna Caterina Antonacci and Donald Sulzen return to Wigmore Hall with a programme rooted in ancient myth, dream-states and folk archetypes.

The simplicity of many of these songs, Ravel’s settings of Greek and Hebrew melodies and Respighi’s sublime liriche among them, belie their power to focus minds on thoughts of transcendence and extraordinary beauty.
