Their album Dolci miei sospiri offers a look at the Italian secular music of the seventeenth century and reveals some aspects of Baroque affetti, contrasts and colors. The desire is to explore the different facets of the feeling of love, to express the contrasts of joy andsadness, through dances, fantasies, songs and madrigals.\n\nLisette Aubert-Milleret - viola da gamba.\n\nStudied at the Centre for Early Music in Geneva in the class of Ariane Maurette.\n\nShe graduated in 1989 and completed her training in one year from Jordi Savall at the Schola Contorum Basiliensis.\n\nShe is part of various ensembles (Isabella D'Este, The Boreades, Carpe Diem and Arcane) with whom she regularly gives concerts in Switzerland and abroad.\n\nShe has also participated in several recordings and teaches the viola da gamba in private.\n\nFlorence Boeuf-Albert - recorder and viola da gamba.\n\nBorn in Geneva, studied at the Conservatory of Music in that city and received her graduate teaching in recorder at the Conservatory of Music in 1981.
