«L'angelo della musica» is the historical novel by Rose Tremain, published by Il Saggiatore in paperback (448 pages, in Italian).
In 1629, with Denmark adrift, King Christian IV, betrayed by his wife, seeks solace in the music of his orchestra. Peter Claire, a young English lutenist, arrives at court and arouses the monarch's interest and the love of Emilia, lady-in-waiting to the queen. The novel interweaves that passion with the intrigues and decadence of the Danish court.
Originally published as «Music & Silence» in 1999, it won the Whitbread Award. This Italian edition came out in 2001 in the Scritture collection.
A work for readers of historical fiction interested in the 17th century, with music, love and court intrigues as its axes.
