About
One of the greatest artists of all time, Michelangelo Buonarroti was also an important poet. These settings of some of his most personal sonnets articulate the anguish of love and desire, as well as the despair of old age. The musical style combines the theatricality of Italian bel canto with the direct expressivity of folksong.
