Venice was one of the most important centers for the development of Italian Renaissance music––thanks not only to Claudio Monteverdi, its most widely celebrated innovator today. Barbara Strozzi, born 400 years ago in 1619, became the most influential femaleVenetian composer of the generation after his. Along with a selection of Monteverdi’s madrigals and instrumental music by Tarquinio Merula, the Italian ensemble La Venexiana presents Strozzi’s fascinating vocal works.
