Lamenti e Sospiri

Sigismondo d’India: a name, a man, a body of work to rediscover. Throughout this contemplative concert, Leonardo García Alarcón explores the human emotions and rehabilitates this composer of genius.

At the tail end of the Renaissance, Italy’s baroque period witnessed the development of new manners and mores: the objective was to replicate the human emotions as closely as possible through the most expressive music. While Claudio Monteverdi is the most famous composer from this transitional period, the recital given here pays tribute to his artistic twin: Sigismondo d’India. The latter participated fully in this shift in sensibilities, and in the exploration of sentiment through music, by publishing some of the most innovative monodies of his time. The voices of Mariana Flores and Julie Roset, accompanied by a group of highly talented instrumentalists, sublimate this exhilarating and purifying voyage toward the most profound internal depths.

Sigismondo d’India
Voi che ascoltate in rime sparse
