About

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.

Awards and reviews

April 2008

…I Fagiolini are at their best in the quietly pastoral pieces. 'Rimanti in pace' is an early masterpiece from Book 3, sung with the tenderest of touches at the melting harmonies, and 'Lagrime d'amante'… is given the most persuasive performance I have heard...
4 out of 5 stars

May 2008

Under Robert Hollingworth's inspired direction, the five singers squeeze all the emotion possible out of the suspensions, both diatonic and chromatic.
