Francesco Cavalli Sighs of love

Two of the brightest singing talents to have emerged from Italy in recent years, Giulia Semenzato and Raffaele Pe, join forces for  Sospiri d'amore , a dazzling celebration of operatic arias and duets by that Baroque master of amorous emotions, Francesco Cavalli. Soprano and countertenor are supported by a modern master of Italian Baroque style in  Claudio Cavina, who directs  The Venexiana  (Cavina has also led the Glossa recording of Cavalli's 1656 opera  Artemisia ).
