I'm loving the vibes of this album Virtuosissima Sirena 
! Barbara Strozzi was a total trailblazer for women in music back in the day, and it's amazing to see her legacy living on through artists like Laura Catrani. She's absolutely stunning as the soprano - that voice of hers is just mesmerizing 
. And I love how the director Riccardo Doni let the music breathe, you know? It really makes each piece feel super authentic and special. The way they've woven together these old sonatas with Castello and Legrenzi... it's like a treasure trove of musical history! 
One thing that might be a bit tricky for some listeners is the language - I mean, Strozzi was Italian, so her poetry can be a bit complex. But Catrani handles it beautifully, if you ask me. Overall, Virtuosissima Sirena is definitely an album to get lost in
