About New Album

L’Avventura London debuts on Hyperion with a dazzling album of eighteenth-century Portuguese modinhas—described in their time as “voluptuous and bewitching.” Blending lyrical melancholy with infectious Brazilian-inspired rhythms, these love songs capture the era’s exotic flair.
Directed by Žak Ozmo, L’Avventura’s spirited players are joined by Portuguese sopranos Sandra Medeiros and Joana Seara, bringing this seductive and rarely heard repertoire vividly to life.
