NotesLa Donna Musicale's second CD concludes the first-ever recording of The Seven Psalms of David by 17th century Franco-Italian composer Antonia Padoani Bembo. Here Bembo sets the penitential psalms of her contemporary, poet Elisabeth-Sophie Chéron, providing a musical interpretation of Chéron's passionate verse. Like Volume I, this new recording also includes instrumental music by Bembo's contemporary, Elisabeth Jacquet de la Guerre. Performers: Sherezade Panthaki, Margaret Hunter, sopranos; Aaron Sheehan, tenor; Frederick Jodry, bass; Na'ama Lion, baroque flute; Laura Gulley, Jennifer Schiller, Cécile Garcia-Moeller, violins; Sonia Lee, Noriko Yasuda, harpsichords; Ruth McKay, organ, harpsichord; Laury Gutiérrez, viola da gamba, director '... devoted collecters of the French Baroque should not overlook these first-rate performances of unusually delightful music.' -- International Record Review "Kudos to La Donna Musicale as they champion the unheard music of women composers" -- Early Music America 'This album presents a fascinating musical universe' -- Goldberg.
