It was the Gonzaga family that appointed Monteverdi as court composer and staged the premiere of *L’Orfeo*. This album features a collection of lute pieces selected from their collection. In addition to the original lute pieces, the album includes arrangements of art songs and madrigals, giving it significant historical value. The recording quality is excellent, and the result is an album that can be enjoyed even by those who are not fans of early music; I highly recommend it to a wide audience.\n\nMassimo Marchesi (lute): A lute and theorbo player born in Savona, Italy, in August 1956.
