Petro Torri is one of the least known and at the same time best composers which lived at the Münich Palace. Around 1665 he was born in Peschiera by the Gardasee. His musical education is unknown. Until his death in 1732 he composed for the Wittelbachischen noble house. After the defeat at the battle of Höchstadt 1704 Torri moved to Brussels and there he worked as "maître de chapelle" at the church of St. Gundule, after the invasion of Brussels by the English 1706, Max Emanuelle fled. After the armistice of Rastatt (1714) Torri started composing again of which the cantata "Le triomphe de la paix" was the product. Beside this piece in the French style the recording also includes "Magnificat à 15 et più" and "Veniat dilectus meus".
