Alla Milanese ('in the Milanese style') explores the connections between musicians at the heart of Milan's scene for experimental music, c.1592-1626. Alongside compositions from the city's most illustrious musical families - Rognoni and Cima - The Gonzaga Band has sought to rediscover the music of their lesser-known contemporaries, including Biumi, Casato, and the nun-composer Caterina Assandra, to illuminate a rich and complex network of stylistic innovation at the dawn of the Baroque era.
