Nevertheless, the two composers featured in this programme, Barbara Strozzi and Antonia Bembo, distinguished themselves with their musical accomplishments and resilience in the face of hardship. Both studied under Francesco Cavalli, the founder of Venetian opera. Strozzi\u2019s madrigals are among the very finest in their genre, thanks to the extraordinarily expressive power of their texts and harmonies. As for Bembo, she dazzles us with her Italian virtuosity and draws our admiration with her French elegance. Her achievement is all the more remarkable when we know more about her personal history. In a show of courage and tenacity, she fled her abusive husband and lived out the rest of her days in Paris, where her talent was recognised by Louis XIV.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-bottom is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Strozzi: Che si pu\u00f2 fare | Mariana Flores &amp; Cappella Mediterranea\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/bhwXBE7tthk?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<section class=\"container\">\n\n\n\n    \n        <h2 class=\"titre-secondaire-basic\">Prochaines dates<\/h2>\n\n        \n            <div class=\"swiper-card-concert-current\">\n                <div class=\"swiper-wrapper\">\n                                    <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n\n            <div class=\"nav-swipper-concert-current\">\n                <div class=\"swiper-card-concert-current-button-prev\"><\/div>\n                <div class=\"swiper-card-concert-current-button-next\"><\/div>\n            <\/div>\n        \n    \n<\/section>\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-28f84493 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Program<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Francesco Cavalli<\/strong> \u2014 \u00ab Mira questi due lumi \u00bb (from <em>Le nozze di Teti e di Peleo<\/em>)<br\/><strong>Antonia Bembo<\/strong> \u2014 \u00ab M\u2019ingannasti in verit\u00e0 \u00bb (from <em>Produzioni armoniche consacrate a Luigi XIV<\/em>)<br\/><strong>Francesco Cavalli<\/strong> \u2014 \u00ab Dimmi, Amor, che far\u00f2 \u00bb (from <em>L&#8217;Oristeo<\/em>)<br\/><strong>Biagio Marini<\/strong> \u2014 <em>La Romanesca<\/em><br\/><strong>Barbara Strozzi<\/strong> \u2014 <em>Lagrime mie<\/em><br\/><strong>Francesco Cavalli<\/strong> \u2014 \u00ab Sinfonia della Notte \u00bb (from <em>L\u2019Egisto<\/em>)<br\/><strong>Barbara Strozzi<\/strong> \u2014 <em>Che si pu\u00f2 fare<\/em><br\/><strong>Tarquinio Merula<\/strong> \u2014 <em>Aria sopra la cieccona<\/em><br\/><strong>Barbara Strozzi<\/strong> \u2014 <em>L\u2019amante segreto<\/em><br\/><strong>Barbara Strozzi<\/strong> \u2014 <em>\u00c8 pazzo il mio core<\/em><br\/><strong>Dario Castello<\/strong> \u2014 \u00ab Sonata seconda a soprano solo \u00bb (from <em>Sonate concertate in stil moderno, libro secondo<\/em>)<br\/><strong>Francesco Cavalli<\/strong> \u2014 \u00ab E vuol dunque Ciprigna \u00bb (from <em>Ercole Amante<\/em>)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Performance running time: approx. 1 hour and 10 minutes<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Cast<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Mariana Flores<\/strong>, soprano<br\/><strong>Rodrigo Calveyra<\/strong>, recorder and cornetto<br\/><strong>Marina Bonetti<\/strong>, harpa<br\/><strong>Teodoro Ba\u00f9<\/strong>, viola da gamba<br\/><strong>Marc Wolff<\/strong>, archlute<br\/><strong>Quito Gato<\/strong>, theorbo, guitar<br\/><br\/><strong>Leonardo Garc\u00eda-Alarc\u00f3n<\/strong>, harpsichord, organ and musical direction<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-328c6305 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\" style=\"padding-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--30)\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:100%\">\n<a class=\"link-default link-center link-circle\" href=\"https:\/\/cappellamediterranea.com\/post-discographie\/disques-de-lga-2-2-5-17\/\">\n    <div class=\"content-circle\">\n        <div class=\"circle\"><\/div>\n    <\/div>\n    <span class=\"title\">\n        Album    <\/span>\n<\/a>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-28f84493 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What the press is saying<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Le Quotidien Jurassien<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Reliving the concert at Inter<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;<em>Le Donne di Cavalli<\/em> refers to two Venetian composers of the 17th century: Antonia Bembo and Barbara Strozzi Both were taught by Francesco Cavalli.
