RossoPorpora - Monteverdi: Il sesto libro de madrigali - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

RossoPorpora made it's Arcana debut with an album dedicated to Luca Marenzio, which received widespread critical acclaim, including the German Record Critics' Award, Classic Voice's Disc of the Month, a Diapason of 5, and five-star reviews from Musica and Amadeus. It was described as InchmagnificentInch by Early Music Review and hailed as Incha desert island discInch by Forum Opera. Now, with it's second album, the ensemble turns to one of the cornerstones of 17th-century music Claudio Monteverdi's Sixth Book of Madrigals. In a deeply immersive exploration of the composer's inner world during his final years in Mantua, RossoPorpora delivers a profoundly moving interpretation of the many masterpieces contained in the collection-Lamento d'Arianna, Lagrime d'Amante sul sepolcro dell'Amata, Zefiro torna, Oime 'l bel viso, Qui rise o Tirsi-which together mark one of the highest achievements in the history of the madrigal.
