In this programme devoted to various seventeenth-century ground basses - or bassi ostinati - the musicians of the ensemble L'Arpeggiata are joined by the Italian jazz clarinettist - one of the finest jazzmen of today - Gianluigi Trovesi, who brings an unusual colouring to the vocal and instrumental improvisations.

“L'Arpeggiata's way of improvising on these ground basses and repeated harmonic patterns is deliciously entertaining...from the moment [Galeazzi] starts singing about the beautiful house she wants, filled with tears and laughter, music and poetry, I was hooked...Magical results, from the meanest ingredients”
