Claudio Monteverdi

Artist(s):
Delitiae Musicae

Conductor:
Marco Longhini

Background: Monteverdi’s Third Book of Madrigals, dedicated to Duke Vincenzo Gonzaga of Mantua, was the composer’s first major success and described by him as 'mature and tasty fruit'. Clearly influenced by the artistic splendours of the Mantuan court, it is an innovative and at times revolutionary work.

The drama and intensity of feeling, allied with a wide range of musical techniques, including declamation and dissonance, are taken to even greater expressive heights than in the First Book and the Second Book.

This is particularly evident in the two three-part cycles, Vattene pur crudel (Go then, cruel man) and Vivrò fra i miei tormenti (I shall live midst grief and torment), set to texts from Tasso’s Gerusalemme liberata (Jerusalem Delivered).

In line with recent research into performance practice of the time, all the singers on this recording are men.

TRACKS: La giovinetta pianta O come e gran martire. Sovra tenere erbette e bianchi fiori. O dolce anima mia dunque e pur vero. Stracciami pur il core. O rossignuol ch'in queste verdi fronde. Se per estremo ardore. Vattene pur crudel. La tra'l sangue. Poi ch'ella in se torno. O primavera gioventu de l'anno. Perfidissimo volto. Ch'io non t'ami cor mio? Occhi un tempo mia vita. Vivro fra i miei tormenti. Ma dove oh lasso me! Io pur verro la dove sete. Lumi miei cari lumi. Rimanti in pace. Ond'ei di morte.
CONDUCTOR: Marco Longhini
ARTISTS: Delitiae Musicae
