I Fagiolini - Music of the Spheres
Live from Lichfield Cathedral, Robert Hollingworth directs I Fagiolini in a concert exploring the Music of the Spheres. With Byrd, Josquin, Mauchaut, Victoria, Tallis and Martland.
Inspired by the ancient Greek idea of an ever-present music created by the planets as they revolved around the earth, Robert Hollingworth directs I Fagiolini at Lichfield Cathedral in a concert exploring mainly Renaissance music that seems to exist on a different plane - the music of the spheres.
Live from Lichfield Cathedral. Presented by Stuart Flinders.
