Highlands and Sea was born out of an encounter between two musicians of diametrically opposite origins musically speaking. Laura is principally engaged in contemporary vocalism, giving numerous first performances of works specially written for her by living composers.
Claudio performs on the harpsichord and organ and conducts baroque repertoire in theatres and prestigious concert halls throughout the world.

This concert tells of the vertigo of creation seen through their different eyes, from the vastness of snow capped mountains to the bottom of the deep sea.
The nature which reveals itself has the changing voice of two different worlds in which seventeenth century light and shade and the language of contemporary research dialogue in surprising harmony.


The music shimmers, sparkles and dances; Astronio’s ability to convey the charachter and emotional dynamic of a vocal line is incredibly beautiful, sensitive, and deeply touching without bordering on cloying sentimentality.... Handel, Arias for Harpsichord - Fanfare, Jan 2003 USA
