Bastiana : Solista Di Coro Book 2: The Performing Years

0/5 ( ratings)

This is the second in a trilogy describing the author’s recollections of his former life as a leading female musician in eighteenth-century Venice.

As author Keith Edelston watched a televised recreation of a revered orchestra, he was hit by the overwhelming realisation that he had once been a part of that world. The music, the surroundings, the clothes – every detail of the scene was intimately familiar.

That moment was the starting point for a series of vivid memories of another existence. Further investigation tied up the loose ends to reveal the story of Bastiana – ‘Luna’ to all who knew her.

Luna was a member of the renowned Coro della Pietà, taught by Vivaldi, their beloved Maestro, to whom she was devoted.

The Performing Years describes Luna’s life from her late teens into middle age. She is passionate about playing and teaching music, but yearns to fall in love and raise a family of her own. Luna discovers that her own safety and that of the Pietà is threatened by a very powerful enemy.

When Vivaldi himself is made to suffer, Luna does all she can to help him – but is it enough?
