Dynamic and radiant, the voices and instrumentalists of La Donna Musicale present All Around Love, a concert depicting love in all of its physical, emotional, and spiritual manifestations. The members of the ensemble, all leading players on the Boston Early Music scene, were either born or educated abroad. Our musical journey through love will lead you from the sultry tones of desire to the sheer ecstasy of exultation; from the dark hand of grief and despair to the clenched fist of jealousy, anger, and revenge; and finally back to resurrection, forgiveness, and the peace of the pastoral world, where all things are perfect.<\/p>\n

\nWe begin with the overture and a scene from La liberazione di Ruggiero dall’isola d’Alcina, a comic opera by Francesca Caccini, first performed in 1625. A scene from the cantata Fr\u00e0 Dori, e Fileno by Camilla de Rossi follows. Next on the program are Barbara Strozzi\u2019s exquisite and rapturous vocal duets, as well as her heart-wrenching serenata Hor che Apollo. Antonia Bembo is represented by short humorous arias from her Produzioni Armoniche. The second half of the concert features Julie Pinel\u2019s exquisite and miniaturistic French baroque music. The program is balanced by elegant and spirited trio sonatas by Isabella Leonarda and Elisabeth Jacquet de la Guerre.<\/p>\n
