Lamentaties van de profeet Jeremia

Paul Van Nevel and his Huelgas Ensemble have been a benchmark in the authentic performance practice of old polyphonic choral music for half a century. They combine years of experience and a deep understanding of music from long-gone times with a contemporary, spontaneous way of making music, creating timelessly moving concerts. The lamentations composed by Orlando di Lasso to commemorate the destruction of Jerusalem, more than six hundred years before Jesus’ birth, have a timeless quality that demonstrates how music can transform grief into beauty and emotion. In quietly progressing lines, Di Lasso’s notes interweave the sad story of destruction with a sense of hope for redemption and reconciliation.
