Francesco Cavalli (1602-1676) and Giacomo Carlssiml (1605-1674)
Cavalli and Carissimi were very close contemporaries and yet, so far as we know, they never met. Cavalli spent his entire working life in Venice, while Carissimi hardly ever stirred from Rome. The contrasting cities are reflected in the composers' music: hedonistic Venice has its perfect symbol in Cavalli, famous throughout Europe for his operas, and conservative Rome proved an ideal background for Carissimi whose oratorios and cantatas were equally widely celebrated.

Nursery Rhymes turned out to be the most approachable and aurally seductive first performance that can have been heard on Radio 3 for some time .... Rarely since Facade or early Britten has English writing to show off words sounded so melodious, yet unmistakably of its time.
