The Allegory of Desire
Ensemble Zefiro Torna | Vocalconsort Berlin | Ghalia Benali Vocals, Composition
"Zefiro Torna, Berlin's acclaimed Vocalconsort, and the multifaceted Tunisian singer Ghalia Benali turned the poetics of two lovers destined to be separated but always in the hope of reuniting, into a refined and exquisite song in favor of a world without borders, and inhabited by tolerance."

Works by Johann Christoph Bach (1642-1702), John Dunstable (1390-1453), Hildegard von Bingen (1098-1179), Guillaume de Machaut (1300-1377), Heinrich Schütz (1585-1672), Orlandus Lassus (1532-1594), Allessandro Grandi (1586-1630), Oum Kalthoum (Egypt 1904?-1975), Claudio Monteverdi (1567-1643), Dietrich Buxtehude (c.1637-1707), Giovanni Felice Sances (ca. 1600-1679) and Ghalia Benali (*1968).

The Song of Songs is at the heart of the program brought to us by the Ensemble Zefiro Torna, the Vocalconsort Berlin and the Arabic singer Ghalia Benali. The biblical collection of poems about erotic love - interpreted in the Christian context in particular as an allegory of God's love for us humans - was set to music many times in the Middle Ages and the Renaissance. In this concert, works by Hildegard von Bingen, Claudio Monteverdi and other Western composers are combined with the fascinating soundscape of oriental music.
