Maria, dolce Maria

Rachel Podger and her ensemble Brecon Baroque perform works by female composers from the 17th century, as well as Bach and Handel.

As part of Kings Place's year-long exploration of the work of women composers, and broadcast ahead of tomorrow's International Women鈥檚 Day, Rachel Podger and her ensemble Brecon Baroque perform works by female composers from the 17th century. Both Francesca Caccini and Elisabeth Jacquet de la Guerre enjoyed long careers as professional composers, in the Florentine Medici court and Versailles respectively, while Isabella Leonarda (at the age of sixteen) entered the convent of Collegio di Sant'Orsola, where she spent the rest of her life and composed over a period of sixty years.
