Lea Desandre and Thomas Dunford explore an intimate programme of love songs and baroque airs, pairing mezzo-soprano warmth with delicate lute accompaniment. The duo weaves works by Marc‑Antoine Charpentier with chansons from Françoise Hardy, Barbara and melodies by Jacques Offenbach, creating a tender, nocturnal atmosphere. Moments of simplicity and refined virtuosity alternate, revealing subtle emotional shifts and timeless lyricism. The performance privileges closeness, narrative song and the gentle dialogue between voice and plucked strings.
