Emanuele Breda, Barbara Mauch-Heinke (Violine) - Daniela Wartenberg (Cello) - Toshinori Ozaki (Theorbe) - Sofya Gandylan (Cembalo) // At a time when female composers were a rarity, Isabella Leonarda was both prominent and prolific. Although she was cloistered in Novara, the dedications of her published compositions show her to have been extremely well connected, and she was well aware of the music of contemporaries like Carissimi and Corelli.
