Description
Composers from the upper drawer numbers several well-known names (music quality increasing a lot over the century), among them principally Giaches de Wert (1535-1596), Carlo Gesualdo (1566-1613), Claudio Monteverdi (1567-1643) and, not least, Luca Marenzio (1553-1599) to whom the present CD is entirely devoted. In his rather short lifespan, he managed to write about 500 madrigals between 1580 and 1599. In those 2 decades his music developed immensely reaching its climax in the last 10 years of his life. Though continuing to satisfy his great popular following with loads of small light-hearted songs, Marenzio excelled also in writing ambitious madrigal cycles of which 2 are recorded here: Baci soavi e cari (5 6-part madrigals describing several aspects of kissing) and maybe his Magnum Opus, Capitolo - Se quel dolor (10 6-part madrigals delving into one of the periods favourite subjects: Melancholia).
