ABOUT THE RECORDING
Il giardino dei sospiri is a collection of scenes from secular cantatas on tragic love, ranging from Handel’s Qual ti riveggio to the new editions of works by Leo, Marcello, and Gasparini. The tragic heroines of these love stories are interpreted by Czech star mezzo-soprano Magdalena Kožená, who is accompanied by Václav Luks and Collegium 1704.
