Volume 11, featuring cantatas for the twentieth and twenty-first Sunday after Trinity, was recorded live in November 2000. Leaving behind the austerity of Wittenberg with its fiery celebrations of the Reformation festival, John Eliot Gardiner, The Monteverdi Choir and The English Baroque Soloists head to Italy to give two concerts, one in the cathedral of San Lorenzo in Genoa and one the following day in the basilica of Santa Maria sopra Minerva in Rome. The first of these two concerts – a performance of three little-known secular-imaged cantatas in the stunning Gothic cathedral of San Lorenzo. The soloists are internationally acclaimed and include Magdalena KoĹľená, Sara Mingardo, Christoph Genz and Peter Harvey.
