La Néréide
At the opulent Renaissance court of Duke Alfonso II d'Este of Ferrara, Il concerto segreto was considered an absolute showpiece. Not for public pomp but for exclusive private pleasure, three exceptional sopranos sang their way into history as concerto delle donne. Their virtuoso art inspired court composer Luzzasco Luzzaschi to create madrigals of unprecedented expressive depth. La Néréide interweaves the most beautiful madrigals with works by contemporaries such as Francesca Caccini and Claudio Monteverdi to make a delicate lacework of voices.
