Monteverdi's sensuality and reason intertwine, the essence of the madrigal
An elegant and dramatic dialogue of songs by a prestigious choral group that colours the dawn of Baroque music.
The sophisticated ensemble of the Hamburg Monteverdi Choir clearly portrays the complex intertwining of polyphony. The lyrics, which deal with themes of love and suffering, are vividly brought to life through the exquisite harmonies, making this a highly artistic recording.
