L’Avventura London and their director Zak Ozmo make their debut on Hyperion with a lusciously saucy album of Portuguese love songs from the eighteenth century. Described by a contemporary visitor as ‘voluptuous and bewitching’, these modinhas have an uncertain genesis, but it is likely they reached Portugal from its overseas dominion of Brazil. Two highly contrasting styles predominate: one melancholic and lyrical, and the other bright and rhythmic, often with syncopated rhythms in the voice. Also interspersed are instrumental works from the period.
The spirited players of L’Avventura London are joined by two Portuguese sopranos, Sandra Medeiros and Joana Seara, who are also early music specialists in their own right.

Reviews: “Stylistically, the songs are a curious fusion of polite salon music of a somewhat saccharine sentimentality - epitome of the fashionable and graceful Galant style - and the sensual melodies and vigorous dance rhythms of Latino folk, imported from Brazil…L'Avventura's performances tend towards the genteel, suggesting decorous courtly soirees rather than raunchy street theatre…These are, in short, charming accounts”
“[Seara] blends well with Medeiros and you get accustomed to the strong hint of citrus in their voices…The percussion…consists of a shaker in one number and the cellist tapping her instrument like a drum! Yet that's a major part of the appeal of this 'fusion' disc, melding 'classical' and popular idioms in a manner that recalls Chrstina Pluhar's L'Arpeggiata discs.”
