Endless Pleasure, Endless Love: Handel's Semele.

Lucie Skeaping presents highlights from Handel's music drama Semele, including the famous aria Where e'er you walk.

Leonardo: Music & Maths.

A concert of music from the time of Leonardo da Vinci given by the instrumentalists and vocalists of Ensemble Lucidarium at the York Early Music Festival. Leonardo da Vinci and his contemporaries considered music to be a mirror in which mathematical concepts could be applied and proven; polyphony in particular was a field for experimentation where research brought tangible results. Leonardo's designs for musical instruments - a combination of studied scientific improvements and impossible dreams - still exercise a fascination over us today, even if they occupied only a fraction of his sketchbooks. He certainly knew how to sing and play an instrument himself, while his professional life brought him into close contact with some of the greatest composers of his day.

La Nascita dell'opera: The Birth of Opera.

Soprano Magdalena Kožená and La Cetra perform in a concert that mines the dramatic wealth of early Italian opera. From that great operatic pioneer Monteverdi to Marula, composers revelled in the dramatic potential of the new form to explore the depths of human emotions through the power of the voice. Works by Uccellini and Castello sit alongside a passionate aria from Monteverdi's L'incoronazione di Poppea and his opera in all but name, the 'scena' Il Combattimento di Tancredi e Clorinda in a concert recorded at 2018's Verbier Festival.
