Product Notes

Ceruleo celebrate the music of Barbara Strozzi, one of the greatest composers of the seventeenth century, and the most published composer of secular song of her time. Her distinctive style is characterised by virtuosic vocal lines, sophisticated interplay between voices and accompaniment, and a dramatic approach to text setting that went above and beyond that of her influences Claudio Monteverdi and

Francesco Cavalli. This is music of passion and desire; for love - both in general and in the specific form of another person - but also a longing for an answer to life's questions or for relief from life's burdens. With two sopranos, viola da

gamba, harpsichord and lute, Ceruleo bring to life the music of this extraordinary composer, combining a selection of her

finest works with instrumental pieces by her contemporaries.
