Earthly and paradisaic songs

The early music ensemble Due sopra il Basso brings a lively and extraordinary program to the stage. In the Arcadian realms, the shepherds call on the little birds to reduce their love suffering. Love, rejection and constant pain determine life in paradise as well as on earth.
