This
record serves as a valuable testimony to the culture
of the vocal art in Italy in the realm of sacred
music, and is centred round the passionate
declamation of Monteverdi. The present
interpretation highlights again the joint aesthetic
and technical characteristics of the early Italian
school of singing. It necessary to provide these
details on the sleeves notes of this recording of
sacred music in order to approach this beautiful
music by means of the interpretation of Nella ANFUSO,
guiding us to the splendours of the high Italian
school of singing, the same art which was that of
Vittoria Archilei at the court of the Medici in
Tuscany; of Leonora Baroni, daughter of Adriana
Basile (who was so admired by Monteverdi at the
court of Mantua); of Margherita, daughter of
Francesca Caccini. A veritable hymn to vocal beauty.
