The Glories of Italy is a collection of Masterpieces of Italian vocal music from the 17th and 18th centuries.
Collection of theater, concert and chamber pieces.

Contrasting forms in the rendering of emotion, sometimes refined, sometimes ornamented,
but always elegant in expression, this is how we can describe the ancient Italian airs.
