Their names were Laura, Livia, and Anna. Together, they were known in the late 1500's as the Tre Donne di Ferrara - the three ladies of Ferrara. Their ensemble was praised by contemporary poets and won highest renown throughout Italy and Germany. However, women were not supposed to become famous for their professional achievements. And so, one of them was murdered by her husband - a count - who went unpunished. Thus, this is a tale of revolutionary women ahead of their time, living in an era when women had no protections.

In this album, it has been my pleasure to collaborate with three extraordinary ladies of today - named Amanda, Amanda, and Amanda. The Amandas and I are proud to offer this homage to the unstoppable Italian women who broke the glass ceiling in 1580. We hope that their brilliance and boldness resound through this recording.

'Much of the pleasure of this album, and in the music of this period, is in the instrumental realisation of often quite bare-boned scores. Apollo's Fire, under Jeannette Sorrell, are fearless and inventive in their recreation of this music […] the programme is full of a keen lust for life, dance and love on the sharp edge of death and misfortune.' – Gramophone
