Description:

[Exploring Late Baroque Musical Exchanges Between Northern and Southern Europe Through the Work of the Viennese Italian Composer Caldara]Caldara, a composer born in Venice slightly before Vivaldi, was active throughout Italy before entering the service of the Imperial Court in Vienna in 1715. While his career spanned both Italy and the German-speaking regions to the south of the Alps, this album features a selection of Caldaras works paired with music by composers from the preceding generation in Germanywho were heavily influenced by Italian musicas well as by his contemporaries and those who traveled between the two regions, offering insight into the musical exchanges between the north and south at that time. The album is performed by The Banshees, a group formed by four female early-music performers who are active in a wide range of roles at the forefront of the French music scene. Performed
