As we get ready for Thursday’s announcement of our 2020-21 Season, here is another favorite from this series. It is a fantastic piece from our Baroque concert last January. Over a mostly continuous ground bass, Monteverdi weaves a never-ending banquet of melodic inventiveness, some passages simple and lovely, others extremely virtuosic. We were so lucky to have an absolutely perfect group of vocal and instrumental soloists. A true delight to listen to!
