Musiche di C. Monteverdi, D. Castello, G. B. Fontana

In his Books of Madrigals, Claudio Monteverdi depicts all human feelings, light and intense, embodied in an extremely modern music. Key-figure of the transition from Renaissance to Baroque, Monteverdi explores the polyphonic madrigal, as well as the new path of monody leading later to operas and cantatas. The prestigeous French ensemble Les Talens Lyriques performs the most beautiful madrigals (particularly from Book VIII) and arias and duets from L’incoronazione di Poppea and from Il ritorno di Ulisse in patria.
