“Alas! Where is my beloved, where is my heart?
Who has concealed my love and taken her away?”
This is the opening text of a gorgeous work by Claudio Monteverdi. And today’s Beautiful music features an equally gorgeous performance of it by sopranos Claron McFadden and Nora Fischer with theorbo player Mike Fentrs.
