Lamentations

Lamentations

FIGURE presents an intimate performance of words and music for Easter, centred around Couperin’s sublime Leçons de Ténèbres. Radio 3’s Donald Macleod will read a selection of poetry and prose, and Frederick Waxman is joined by gambist Liam Byrne and sopranos Rachel Redmond and Claire Ward in this reflective exploration of loss and renewal.
