About

The madrigals of early baroque composers Claudio Monteverdi and Barbara Strozzi capture the emotional range of the human condition with fiery fervour and sublime tenderness. Monteverdi’s eighth book of madrigals (subtitled ‘madrigals of war and love’) contains some of his finest writing for voices and instruments. Barbara Strozzi’s compositions display an affinity for the voice honed by her years as a professional singer, filled with yearning, desire, heartbreak and loss. Oriana is joined in this concert by Canberra early music specialists Apeiron Baroque.
