Lazy Sunday: Sonnets of dark love

Federico García Lorca in four voices Granada, 1936. Federico García Lorca writes his most intimate sonnets, about love, longing, and sorrow. Shortly thereafter, he is murdered. Almost 90 years later, four Belgian musicians make his words vibrate again. Flamencogitarist Myrddin De Cauter brought singer Helena Casella, cellist Stijn Kuppens, and flutist Stefan Bracaval together for a fairytale journey full of echoes of Granada, Moorish melodies, and soft lullabies. PopMatters called the result "artful": music that not only interprets Lorca's words but also touches his spirit. From subdued melancholy to fiery ecstasy. Pure, passionate, and deeply felt.
