About this concert

Charismatic and richly timbred mezzo Alice Coote joins The English Concert and Harry Bicket in Monteverdi’s Lasciatemi morire, a selection of Dowland’s heart-rending love songs, and finally as Handel’s tragic heroine Lucrezia. Brilliant string concertos for violin and cello by Vivaldi complete this striking programme.
