The music unfolds through measured dances, ornate ornamentation and lyrical Italianate contrasts, revealing melodic suppleness, intimate dialogues and rich harmonic clarity. The performance aims for transparent textures and poetic expression, inviting attentive listening to a seldom-heard repertoire.
