Songs of Love, from Court to Country.
Bud Roach ~ tenor & theorbo
Songs of Love, from Court to Country features 17th-century Italian love songs by Perti, Stefani, and Cazzati, and English airs by Purcell, Blow, and Lawes. Some of these arias were meant for courtly entertainment, but all would have made their way into the theatres and the streets of Italy and England, performed as they are here, with the singer providing his own accompaniment on the theorbo.
Tenor and theorbist Bud Roach has been recognized internationally for his solo and ensemble recordings for the Musica Omnia label. “Roach is marvellous throughout…Five stars” (Early Music Today, UK). He leads the ensemble Capella Intima, and is the founder and Artistic Director of the Hammer Baroque concert series in Hamilton, Ontario, welcoming the finest early music singers and players.
