I Fagiolini, Robert Hollingworth This second volume allows the listener to trace Monteverdi’s evolution from the early Mantuan a cappella
madrigals that made his reputation to the late concerted madrigals of the 1630s written for the Viennese court.
These styles seem worlds apart, yet both are forged by the same desire, to confront and master the tension between
mere art and real life. “Under Robert Hollingworth's inspired direction, the five singers squeeze all the emotion possible out of the suspensions, both diatonic and chromatic.” Gramophone Magazine, May 2008 | | | In stock - usually despatched within 1 working day. |
