How far can you take a song of Barbara Strozzi before it loses all historical authenticity? How ”disagreeably" may you sing it? Is it permissible to combine arias from the 1600s with contemporary pop and believe that there are a much greater number of similarities than differences? Of course!
Can you really sing a contemporary pop tune to lute accompaniment without sounding ridiculous? Absolutely!
– Elisabeth Holmertz
Elisabeth Holmertz, soprano, and Fredrik Bock, lutist, toy with and are intrigued by pop songs from the 1600s and contemporary lute songs from 2009.
