Van liefdesliederen en wonderlijke wezens - Duo Lix

Throughout the ages, singers have sung and poets have written about love. Authors have used their imagination to understand, idealize or compare the often unfathomable ways of love. To do this, they describe the behavior of various animals, which in a figurative sense also reflects human actions. In a whimsical imagery, they tell of peoples who look different and have different customs, but also of animals and monsters who open up bizarre worlds in nature.

The two musicians of Duo Lix interweave songs by troubadours and minstrels (Bernart de Ventadorn, Richart de Berbezilh, Der Meißner, Der wilde Alexander) with playful compositions from the late Middle Ages and the musically improvised stories of the Physiologus (2nd to 4th century), Richard de Fournival (1201-1260), Jorge Luis Borges (1899-1986) and Umberto Eco (1932-2016).
