MONTEVERDI’S MADRIGALS
The Complete Triumph

8.501505 [15 DISCS]
UPC: 730099150545
The madrigal, written for courts and patrons, was the
ultimate secular song. The genre reached its zenith with
the works of Claudio Monteverdi in successive books that
trace his technical and expressive innovations. In them,
Monteverdi explored themes such as the vicissitudes and
pleasures of love, as well as the art of war, and the pain of
loss. The editions used in these recordings are the most
authentic and uncut, an, in keeping with 17th-century
practice, employ male voices only. Praised as
‘compelling, simultaneously controlled and
imaginative’ (American Record Guide)
the collection also includes pieces
never before recorded.
