Barbara Strozzi: La Virtuosissima Cantatrice

Venetian composer Barbara Strozzi was not merely undeterred by the male dominance of her field, she was profilic, publishing more secular work than any other composer of her time. The daughter of a poet and an accomplished singer herself, her music reflects her background, displaying a unique insight into her lyricism and harmonies to achieve profound intensity.
