Prima Luce opens in stillness then snaps into motion — harpsichord lines moving with mechanical precision, strings reinforcing something newly awakened and already accelerating. Not a celebration. A beginning. #classical #baroque #cinematic #harpsichord #newmusic

Barbara #Strozzi’s ‘Amor dormiglione’ from the Op. 2 set of Cantate, ariette, e duetti (1651) is one of her most beguiling and subtly witty arias, a gently teasing address to Cupid himself, coaxing the god of love to wake and resume his work...

from Bellot Ensemble’s debut album, Cupid’s Ground Bass, filmed at VOCES8 Centre. Lucine Musaelian sings while also playing the #violadagamba, joined by Daniel Murphy on #theorbo and Matthew Brown on #harpsichord...
