Zum Programm

In 1636 Isabella Leonarda entered the Ursuline convent at Novara. She lived there for almost seventy years, rose from novice to mother superior and dedicated herself to her passion – music. She taught her fellow nuns, conducted choirs and ensembles and composed, always at the height of Baroque stylistic sensibility and with European-wide success. The renowned countertenor Matthias Lucht and his partner Jürgen Banholzer on harpsichord present her intimate and varied solo motets.
