FIRST PUBLISHED 01 MAY 2024
Hopeful, happy and giddy in anticipation of what Spring might bring: music from the 14th to 16th centuries beautifully reflects these timeless sentiments. Our May playlist opens (and closes) with Landini's ballata Ecco la Primavera, composed in the 14th century, celebrating spring and love.
The playlist is available on Spotify.
