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. |

| |  | Baroque Voices 21 - Arias & Cantatas for Contralto
Sara Mingado Concerto Italiano, Rinaldo Alessandrini It was during the Baroque period that the female contralto voice challenged the dominance of the male counter-tenor as the preferred vocal sound in the range between tenor and soprano. This recording, which was a “Gramophone Editor’s Choice” when first released, presents some of the finest pieces written for that voice by, amongst others, Vivaldi, Handel, and Carissimi. They are performed by Sara Mingardo and Concerto Italiano under the direction of Rinaldo Alessandrini. |

Emma Kirkby, Judith Nelson, Poppy Holdon (soprano), Paul Elliott, Andrew King (tenors), Richard Wistreich (baritone) & David Thomas (bass) The Consort of Musicke, Anthony Rooley “Most of the madrigals on this CD come from the Seventh Book of 1619, very much a watershed in Monteverdi’s output. In many instances they are for virtuoso singers and make a break with the past in that they call for instrumental accompaniment. The recording is excellently balanced. Strongly recommended.”*** Penguin Guide to Compact discs | | | Usually despatched in 2 - 3 working days. |
