Luzzasco Luzzaschi: Quivi sospiri - Exaudi

Luzzasco Luzzaschi (): Quivi sospiri Quivi sospiri pianti et alti guai, Rissonavan per l’aer senza stelle, Perch’ io al cominciar ne lagrimai, Diverse lingue horribili favelle, Parole di dolore accenti d’ira, Voci alte et fioche et suon di man con elle. Their sighs, lamentations and loud wailings resounded through the starless air, so that at first it made me weep; Strange utterances, horrible pronouncements, words of pain, tones of anger, voices shrill and faint, and beating hands. Dante EXAUDI Lucy Goddard mezzo Tom Williams countertenor David de Winter, Stephen Jeffes tenor Jimmy Holliday bass Recorded in Orford Church, Suffolk, 9 June 2017 Sound and vision: Patrick Allen for
