The Minneapolis based period instrument ensemble Minstrelsy! is known for creating imaginative performances of early music that are spontaneous, lively and full of color. Including works by: Castello, Monteverdi, Fontana, Steffani, Weelkes, Purcell, Dowland, Bleier, and Arne, Vieni o cara, is a delightful musical romp through the Italian and English Baroque era. Vieni o cara bursts with brilliance and variety! What critics said about Minstrelsy! "The sound is clear and realistic. A most attractive recording debut for a group we will want to hear again." Barker, American Record Guide, May/June '96 "These accomplished musicians make this music seem simple and light-hearted, conveying a sense of spare emotion. It left me with a feeling of marvelous tranquility." AR, Napra Review, Spring 1996 "...authenticity underlying some crisp and elegant playing." Daniel Cusick, Scranton Times Jan.
