Joyce DiDonato takes a new and creative angle on vocal music from the Baroque and Classical periods, as well as from the 20th century, with her new album Songplay. Listen: https://w.lnk.to/songplayLY

The album serves up music by Vivaldi in both its customary Baroque purity and swinging to the heady rhythm of a samba. It brings a tango sizzle to an aria by Vivaldi’s contemporary Marcello. It plays with the voice of Bach in George Shearing’s ‘Lullaby of Birdland’.

Joining Joyce in this musical collaboration are brilliant musicians of various backgrounds: pianist and harpsichordist Craig Terry, award-winning trumpeter Charlie Porter, veteran jazz bassist Chuck Israels, jazz drummer Jimmy Madison, and Argentinian bandoneon player Lautaro Greco.
