Show & CultureShow & CultureAfter three programmes focused on popular music and its relationship with art music in Ireland, Scotland, Sweden and Norway, The Curious Bards now explores these close ties within the work of one of the greatest English composers of the 17th century: Henry Purcell. In his secular music, one can clearly perceive the influence of the popular music that surrounded him, notably in his dance pieces written for theater ('incidental music') or opera. Many tunes and songs performed by guest mezzo-soprano Ilektra Platiopoulou reveal this popular inspiration. The Curious Bards thus provide a new perspective on Purcell, highlighting his popular genius too often overshadowed by his recognition in opera and semi-opera.
