About this concert
Humanist Antonio Alberti’s garden in Florence, 1389: this was the final destination of the five-part epic Il Paradiso degli Alberti written by Giovanni Gherardi da Prato around 1425. Against this background, laReverdie and organetto specialist Christophe Deslignes paint a tableau focussing on the blind composer Francesco Landini: one of the historical celebrities that Giovanni presents in his philosophical paradise.

Francesco Landini
D’amor mi biasmo3
Che cosa è questa, Amor, che ‘l ciel produce1
Nessun ponga speranza1
I' piango, lasso! 'l tempo ch'è passato1
Che pena è questa al cor2 instrumental
Deh, dimmi tu, che se' così fregiato1
Perché virtù fa l'uom costant'e forte3
Che fai? che pensi?1
Selvaggia fera, di Diana serva4
Così pensoso3
Or su, gentili spirti ad amar pronti1
Non arà mai pietà questa mia dona2 instrumental
Lasso! Per mie fortuna1
Questa fanciulla amor4 & 5

About the performers
In 1986 two pairs of young sisters from Italy founded laReverdie: an ensemble named after the poetic genre of the same name in which the arrival of spring is hailed. The musicians live up to that premise, because more than 30 years later the now world-famous ensemble is just as fresh and surprising as it ever was. In line-ups of varying size and with both vocal and instrumental repertoire from the Middle Ages and Renaissance, laReverdie stands for confident performances rooted in thorough research, natural virtuosity and musical camaraderie.
