Description
American tenor Lawrence Brownlee and Scottish pianist Iain Burnside reunite for a fascinating recital of Italian and American songs.
Tenor Lawrence Brownlee has won international acclaim for his ‘sweet tone, fastidious pitch and poetic phrasing’ (New Yorker). He returns to the Festival with Scottish pianist and broadcaster Iain Burnside, following their 2019 Queen’s Hall recital, after which ‘no one left the hall without a smile on their face’, according to The Arts Desk.
In the Italian-themed first half, enjoy lyrical love songs by Gaetano Donizetti and Ottorino Respighi, romantic numbers by popular songwriters Luigi Denza and Gabriele Sibella, and Franz Liszt’s impassioned Tre sonetti di Petrarca (Three Petrarch Sonnets), inspired by the composer’s travels in Italy.
