Sovra tenere erbette e bianchi fiori from Libro III de Madrigali??
Me neither but she’s very good at what she does and had done done good stuff. My partners more of a fan. But they compliment each other here really well.

Found it - it’s in the sixth part of this madrigal…
Section begins at 1:33 in for this performance. Now, of course it could well be that the writer of the article in the magazine had an over-active imagination…

I would never have looked here… Tears of the lover at the tomb of the beloved…
The piece has a subtext: both poem and music were written in memory of Caterina Martinelli, a young singer who was to have premiered the title role in Monteverdi’s opera Arianna in 1608. Alas, she was struck down before her time, and this was both a personal loss to Monteverdi–Caterina had been part of his household and much beloved–and a professional loss, for the young singer had been immensely talented and was a great asset to the musical establishment at Mantova.
(Sestina - Claudio Monteverdi)
