In his illus­tri­ous Canzoniere, Petrarca invokes his unat­tain­able muse Laura. His anguished poet­ry inspired com­posers from the Trecento to the present day. Zefiro Torna and the Frank Vaganée Trio inter­lace bal­lads, madri­gals, and chan­sons into a time­less tapes­try in which ear­ly music and jazz cross-pol­li­nate. Front woman Annelies Van Gramberen skil­ful­ly nav­i­gates through this uni­ver­sal but para­dox­i­cal panorama.
