The performance was beyond just music, by incorporating … dramatic texts, it was gripping and intimate. I felt that we were at the meeting point of old and new, a contemporary approach to historically informed performance that is something I haven’t seen before.

For me this text — especially with these other elements brought in that are so intensely personal in English, really hits … as kind of a personal reflection on the meaning of loving someone.
