Happy New Year to all our friends!! We are now barely ten weeks away from the release of Lucrezia Borgia’s Daughter, and we have more exciting news to share. Today, Laurie spent several hours at Broadcasting House with the delightful Donald Macleod, plying him with five-hundred-year-old gossip about nuns and noblewomen, and generally chewing the fat about all things Ferrara. Some judicious editing might well be needed, but once the producer has worked his magic, we will have a Composer of the Week series to be proud of: on the music of the women of Ferrara. The series will be aired on BBC Radio 3 during the week of International Women’s Day, and Lucrezia Borgia’s Daughter will be the focus of the programme on the day itself. We couldn’t wish for a better platform for the release of the recording – we are thrilled, of course!
