Steven Devine directs the Academy of Ancient Music in this full-length recording of the Sinfonia to "Pallade e Marte" [c.1713] by the Italian composer Maria Grimani.
"Pallade et Marte," in which a soprano and alto soloist take on the roles of deities taking it in turns to praise the emperor, was the first dramatic work written by a woman to be performed at the Vienna court theatre.
