Willaert: Liete e pensose

This recording was created for the Titian exhibitions which took place at the National Gallery in London and the Prado in Madrid.

For Titian music was most certainly the food of love. Musicians appear frequently in his paintings delicately, sensually holding or playing their instruments, often in the company of a naked Venus as in Venus and the Lute Player housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York or the paintings of Venus and the organ player in the Prado Museum, Madrid and the Gemäldegalerie, Berlin.
