Vocal works by Monteverdi, Frescobaldi a. o.

The six-concert series “Io suono italiano” is dedicated to music of Italian composers and performed by Italian musicians on Italian instruments. The concert programs cover four centuries of music: from Girolamo Frescobaldi and Antonio Vivaldi to more contemporary music by Ennio Morricone and Azio Corghi. Each program presents more familiar pieces alongside lesser-known compositions. These performances were filmed at the atmospheric Teatro Sociale in Rovigo, Italy, in January 2021. In this program, Marina De Liso (soprano), Roberto Loreggian (harpsichord), and Nicola Dal Maso (violone) present vocal Baroque music. On the program are Benedetto Ferrari’s Amanti io vi so dire, Barbara Strozzi’s Lamento, Tradimento, and Che si può fare, Giovanni Felice Sances’s Usurpator tiranno, Girolamo Frescobaldi’s Partite sopra il Passacagli, and Se l’aura spira, Claudio Monteverdi’s Ohimè ch’io cado, and Si dolce è il tormento.
