Sound and Clouds and Thunder (127)

[Emanuela Galli singing Barbara Strozzi’s “Lagrime mie”, 1998. – Clip with thanks to civileso]

…

Here, have some eloquent complaining of someone in love about people wrongfully being locked up to commerate week 127 of political dystopia.

– Barbara Strozzi has been on my mind these days (400-year anniversary this year, coming up August 6, but I wasn’t patient enough to wait with this clip until then).

(And already twenty-one years ago, it was audible that Emanuela Galli would come to reside in the boldest and, well, grooviest corner of ornamentation.)
