This recording project, the culmination of research initiated in 2020, follows the release of the third book of madrigals (TC531601) by the same composer. This earlier release was the result of the first collaboration between conductor Elia Orlando, the ensemble Tuscae Voces, and the record label Tactus. It is safe to say that the outcomes confirm how the musical landscape in Renaissance Prato deserves much more attention than it has drawn so far. Biagio Pesciolini, besides being closely connected to the Florentine court, demonstrated a vision that extended beyond the confines of Prato’s city walls. Praised by peers Ludovico Zacconi and Antonio Brunelli for his mastery of techniques rooted in Flemish-origin ars musica, Pesciolini skilfully navigated both ‘orthogonal’ writing for double choir and intricate compositions for five and six voices. This demonstrates Pesciolini’s openness and receptivity to the diverse musical tendencies of Italy’s most important musical centres.
