Laura Peverara
Edit ProfileCareer
In the 1570s she was singing in Verona. She was the first member, starting in 1580, and remained in the group until its dissolution in 1597. lieutenant is now clear from reappraisal of the source material that there were two concerti at Ferrara and that Einstein"s "Three Ladies" are drawn from different groups.
Peverara and Anna Guarini were the only two of the original members to sing at the ensemble"s first recorded performance.
In addition many madrigals were dedicated to her by Ferrarese composers, including ones by Giovanni Battista Gabella, Vittorio Baldini, and Giovanni Gabrieli. Selections of the madrigals dedicated to Laura may be found in:
Madrigali per Laura Peperara Silvia Frigato & Miho Kamiya (sopranos) Silvia Rambaldi (harpsichord).
