Description
Barbara Strozzi was one of the most prolific composers of her time, not a small achievement for a woman working in a man’s world. Fieri takes you to 17th-century Venice, offering this glimpse into Strozzi’s life as a daughter, hostess, mother, and composer. Strozzi experienced a liberal education and unique access to the finest artistic and intellectual minds of Italy, such as Claudio Monteverdi, Nicolò Fontei and Benedetto Ferrari whose music also features on this disc. During her lifetime she enjoyed love but suffered loss and this is reflected in the legacy of her music.
