"This proves as well as any disc that Naxos offers more than duplication of the standard repertoire"
- Fanfare

The Baroque lament has its origins in the culture of ancient Greece and its Roman imitators. Aristotle's theory of catharsis, the purification of the emotions through the excitement of pity and fear by events worthy of such feelings, and Plato's views on the subject, as expressed in The Republic, found their reflection in the aesthetic theories of the sixteenth century. The lament should arouse feelings of pity, while at the same time suggesting the fashionable humour of melancholy, one of the four psychological states of ancient and later medical theory.
