Suzie LeBlanc, soprano Tragicomedia This version of Luigi Rossi’s Un ferito cavaliero, also known as Lamento della Regina di Svezia, is preserved in the manuscript F-Pn, MS Rés. mus. Vm7 59-101, housed in the Bibliothèque nationale de France. This manuscript is one of two (alongside Rés. mus. Vm7 102-150) that serve as key sources for 17th-century Roman vocal chamber music. Early speculation by Henry Prunières suggested that this manuscript might be the same one sent by the librettist Ottaviano Castelli to Cardinal Mazarin in Paris in 1641. However, musicologist Hans Joachim Marx later proposed a date closer to 1650, pointing to mid-century Franco-Roman cultural exchanges. The cantata’s text centers on the tragic figure of Queen Maria Eleonora of Brandenburg, widow of King Gustavus Adolphus II of Sweden, who was killed in battle on November 16, 1632. The poem, attributed to Fabio della Corgna, follows a wounded cavalier who delivers the news of the king’s death to the queen, plunging her into grief and madness. The cantata was composed sometime between the king's death and 1641, when Castelli reportedly sent a copy of the piece to Paris.
