New Album - Addio Amore
Our new album, Addio Amore, is released today. The Basel Chamber Orchestra, accompanied by soprano Jeanine De Bique and countertenor Terry Wey, presents a programme of piercing intensity and refined expressiveness, exploring the fragile boundary between love and loss in 18th-century opera. Drawing inspiration from a time when singing was not just a display of virtuosity, but a direct expression of the heart's emotions, this recording delves into the emotional essence of separation — when loved ones, friends, and heroes are parted and music becomes the sole source of solace. Available now!
