Brooklyn Art Song Society presents Histories III: Renaissance

The revolutionary works of the Seconda pratica led to a new wave of musical expression during the Renaissance. At the forefront of this radical re-imagining of poetry and music were the madrigals of Carlo Gesualdo and Claudio Monteverdi. Hundreds of years later the haunting poetry of 16th-century master Michelangelo inspired masterpieces by Hugo Wolf and Benjamin Britten.
