In 1637, when Barbara Strozzi turned eighteen years old, her father, the poet Giulio Strozzi, founded the Accademia degli Unisoni, designed to showcase his daughter’s musical talents. She became known across Venice as the virtuosissima singer who could ‘steal the souls of her listeners through their ears with sweetness’.
Strozzi was fortunate enough to be connected with one of the most famous academies in Italy – her father was a member of the Accademia degli Incogniti, comprised of some of the most liberal intellectuals of the time. These artists and writers met to discuss important issues of their day, including the rights and roles of women. Many new ideas were born here, such as the development of opera as an art form for the public.
The collection presented on this album demonstrates Strozzi’s wide-ranging style, from the innocent flirtation of her first book, ‘I baci’ and ‘Il ritorno’, through witty comedy in ‘Al battitor al bronzo’, to her later publications, the seductive duets ‘Begli occhi’ and ‘Morso e bacio’, and finally her beautiful and moving laments ‘Lagrime mie’ and ‘L’eraclito amoroso’.
