In October 2004, Asteria burst onto the Early Music scene by winning Early Music America’s first Unicorn Prize for Medieval and Renaissance Music with a performance heralded by the New York Times as “intimate and deeply communicative...meltingly beautiful.” The duo brings emotional immediacy to late medieval vocal and instrumental music, emphasizing the lush beauty of the music and the expressiveness of the texts. Sylvia Rhyne brings to the partnership not only her quicksilver soprano but also a strong dramatic connection with the audience, gained from a professional career in musical theater and opera. Eric Redlinger’s skill on the lute and sweet tenor are complemented by his expertise in early music, earned through study at the Schola Cantorum Basiliensis in Basel, Switzerland, and extensive archival research into original sources. Asteria’s performances convey the anguish and ecstasy of the poetry and the rapturous beauty of the interweaving vocal and instrumental lines. The result of their exploration can be heard on their debut recording of medieval chansons, Le Souvenir de Vous me Tue.
