Early Music Review: Ambronay Festival 2025
There is indeed much pure beauty in the voice, as was demonstrated perhaps above all in Strozzi’s ‘Lagrime mie’, a miniature drama in its own right strategically placed at the heart of the programme. Here, extraordinarily powerful vocal outpourings vied with passages of exquisitely drawn mezza voce singing of great delicacy, words, clearly articulated, tumbled out unstoppably or were lovingly caressed.
