"Songs of Love, from Court to Country" features 17th-century Italian love songs by Perti, Steffani, and Cazzati, and English airs by Purcell, Blow, and Lawes. Some of these arias were meant for courtly entertainment, but all would have made their way into the theatres and the streets of Italy and England, performed as they are here, with the singer providing his own accompaniment on the theorbo.
