This is a blog containing my personal taste in music and art. That means you will see lots of Youtube videos with music I fancy, and also art videos and portraits from the Renaissance, Baroque and Rococo era.

A. Vivaldi: Juditha Triumphans RV644 "Agitata infido flatu"
It amazes me that this was first performed by teenage girls at the Ospedale della Pietà, the institution for orphan girls where Vivaldi taught. What talent!
Thanking for posting this Ninon- the history behind the girls of the Opsedale is fascinating.
