Le corps s’en va, le coeur demeure…Songs from the Leuven Chansonnier
05 June 2025/15h47/ Czechia / Brno
In 2015, at an auction, a collector was in an adventurous mood and decided to take a risk: he bought a lot, including a little statue, a box, and a small old book. Curious about the old scores written in the latter, he contacted the Alamire Foundation in Leuven. The researchers there could not believe their eyes: he had fortuitously found a fifteenth-century songbook, an object the likes of which, until then, could quite literally be counted on the fingers of one hand. Sollazzo collaborates with the Alamire Foundation to perform and record the complete manuscript, in co-production with the recording labels Passacaille and Ambronay. This concert presents their favorite pieces among the 50 works collected in this mysterious chansonnier.
