Today’s Beautiful Music is a taste of sweet torment … Claudio Monteverdi’s solo madrigal SO SWEET IS THE TORMENT. Tenor Karim Sulayman and members of Apollo’s Fire gave this lovely performance in 2015 at the Music Box Supper Club in Cleveland. The program was called Blues Café 1610. Karim Sulayman was joined by theorbo players Brian Kay & William Simms, and cellist René Schiffer.
