After 400 years, the Fieri Consort reveal newly-discovered madrigals of Maddalena Casulana alongside works by another of Italy’s greatest composers, Barbara Strozzi.

In one of the most important discoveries of recent years, the lost Alto partbook of Maddalena Casulana’s 1583 First Book of five-voice madrigals has been found by Professor Laurie Stras.

Living at a time in which women’s creativity was often stifled, Casulana (c.1532 – c.1590) and her compatriot Barbara Strozzi (1619-77) were only too aware their music would be judged inferior to men’s. This recording presents Casulana’s madrigals as a fresh perspective on Strozzi’s works, celebrating both composers’ skill with words and music.
