Strozzi: Voglio Cantar - Emoke Barath. Il Pomo d'Oro

Voglio cantar - 'I want to sing' - is Emőke Baráth's first solo album for Erato. The young Hungarian soprano has built a special reputation in Baroque music and the prime focus here is on Barbara Strozzi, who made her name as a composer in 17th century Venice. "She must have been quite a revolutionary personality," says Emőke Baráth. "Her music is improvisational, intuitive, even rhapsodic... She was clearly a passionate woman with a strong dramatic sense." Baráth is joined by Il Pomo d'Oro, conducted by Francesco Corti.
