The title of this recording, Sotto l’imperio del possente prince (Under the dominion of the powerful prince), is taken from the opening line of a madrigal by Jacopo da Bologna. At that time, musicians were dependent on the favours of sovereigns, and in order to impress, they composed numerous «occasional works», especially in celebration of significant victories, marriages or other festivities. One of the most important North Italian princes was Gian Galeazzo Visconti (1351– 1402), who was not only keen to expand his territories, but was also anxious to encourage the arts at his court. Many distinguished masters spent time in his service, including Jacopo da Bologna and Johannes Ciconia. Founded in 2004 by Lorenza Donadini and focussing on Italian Trecento repertory, the Ensemble Perlaro consists of musicians who met at the Schola Cantorum Basiliensis in Switzerland. There, the ensemble received its academic training which it now connects to a fresh and vigorous means of interpretation.
