Jessica Gould, soprano & Charles Weaver, theorbo: At the Pleasure of Mazarin June 16, 2007

Roman works brought to Paris by Cardinal Mazarin that challenged the status quo and changed the course of French music; From the daring virtuosity of Giacomo Carissimi and lilting laments of Luigi Rossi to the arch character portraits of Virgilio Mazzocchi, these selections from the Biblioteque Nationale de Paris reflect the dazzling variety of Roman monody in the 17th century.
