Focusing on the central notion, one very dear to the troubadours themselves, of 'love from Afar', this new programme leads the listener through that maze of amorous emotions linked with the sense of absence, be it as a result of the crusades, owing to war, to tournaments, or to paternal bans.
..The route is an unconventional one: traversing different styles and epochs, with music from villages as well as from the courts, an immersion in the vast world of song and in the company of its earliest masters, the troubadours, the trouvères, its ageless servants, the traditional singer-poets from Occitania and Spain.
