BARBARA STROZZI / NICOLO FONTEI A New Sappho (CD Koch) FAVELLA LYRICA

Description: This recording features music of Barbara Strozzi, the brilliant singer and composer of mid-17th century Venice. Included are three never-before recorded duets of Strozzi, and the first recordings of Fontei's duets and solos written for Strozzi to perform. In the dedication of a group of songs called Bizzarrie poetiche, composer Nicolò Fontei in 1635 says that his songs were inspired by "principally the most kind and virtuosic damsel, Signora Barbara" [principalmente la gentilissima, e virtuosissima donzella la Signora Barbara]. Furthermore, in Book 2 of his Bizzarrie poetiche dated 1636 he calls Barbara "la virtuosissima cantatrice", the 'most virtuosic singer' of Giulio Strozzi.
