The project Medieval Love Songs invites to an encounter with music heard in France and Southern Europe in the 12th–14thcenturies, in the age of troubadours and trouvères singing of love both idealized and earthly. Monophonic songs and the earliest hints of polyphony reveal how devotional fervor alternated with personal sorrow, longing, and gently playful teasing in the poetry of the time. Barbora Kabátková, combining vocal storytelling and Gothic harp, and Kristýna Kosíková on organetto, create an intimate, historically evocative atmosphere within the walls of the Karlštejn Hunting Lodge.
