Inalto performs music from the time of the plague in Renaissance Venice, including works by Monteverdi, Bassano and Gabrieli. In the 1570s, Venice was a crossing point, a place of east meets west and a celebration of life, colour and the flourishing arts. But it was also a time of plague and of immense, terrible loss. Inalto lead us through the shadowy city and a gamut of emotions, including the constant, plaintive cry of "I have sinned": Domine Deus meus peccavi by Giovanni Rovetta.
