La Venexiana, Claudio Cavina (director) According to Stefano Russomanno in his excellent notes for this collection, "Monteverdi's Fifth Book of
Madrigals is a pivotal work.The door leading to drama and the representative style was now open.
Monteverdi would not be long in crossing it: two years later, L'Orfeo would come to light."
There is nobody better than La Venexiana to uncover the fascinating evolution of Italian music at one of its
greatest moments. "This set of performances by the Italian group La Venexiana, directed by the countertenor Claudio Cavina, is exemplary." Classical CD of the Week, The Guardian, “This recording is one of the best in La Venxiana's Monteverdi series - musically sustained with a convincing sense of ensemble and pace, and crisply recorded.” BBC Music Magazine, March 2008 **** | | | In stock - usually despatched within 1 working day. |
