A poignant musical portrait, constantly moving, is created through the medium of these baroque vocal and instrumental pieces. Tenderness, unease, joy and pain are all sublimated in this most beautifully textured sound, the unique, secret gift of the musicians of the Ricercar Consort.

She offers us the keys to a universe rich in colors and contrasts: a diversity that rhymes with eternity.
