Capretti-Zanchi Lied Duo

In poetry, words become a tool of introspection through a precise expressive choice. The poet explores the most hidden recesses of the word and broadens its semantic scope, leaving it free to resonate throughout its full harmonic range.

The Lied—the song—emerges precisely here, in the luminous expressive wake of poetry meeting music: it is a new organism, a new attempt at communication and an encounter to which all composers of every time and place devote part of their creative work.

Studying and spreading the immense heritage of Lieder is, for us, equivalent to holding forth, in the privileged form of a live concert, one of the most precious fruits that human ingenuity and emotion have been able to deliver to history.
