Description:
The Pinnacle of Monteverdi’s Artistry: A Masterful Achievement by Herreweghe and His Elite Ensemble! In recent years, Philippe Herreweghe has earned widespread acclaim for his unrivaled interpretations of the extremely complex, harmonically intricate madrigals from Gesualdo’s late period. In an interview given at age 70, he stated, “For the rest of my life, I will perform only works that I feel are truly worth engaging with.” The work he takes on here is Monteverdi’s collection of madrigals. While he is widely known for his two recordings of *Vespers of the Blessed Virgin Mary*, this marks the first time he has systematically recorded the madrigals—which represent the very essence of this composer who bridged the Renaissance and the Baroque. He presents “Book IV”—published in 1603 and considered the culmination of the old style—by conducting a very small ensemble of soloists, much like in his Gesualdo recordings; the precision of his interpretation is breathtaking in every single piece. The lineup of performers is once again impeccable, featuring Barbora Kavadková—known for her outstanding interpretations of medieval music—and Alex Potter, who has garnered attention for his solo performances of works by Handel, Telemann, and others. From the opening piece, where the music unfolds quietly as the interval between the two soprano voices in unison gradually widens, to the astonishing development of the final piece—where an unusual chromatic scale possesses a powerful centripetal force—this latest recording overwhelms the listener with the beauty of each of its 20 microcosms. Japanese Edition: Liner notes and Japanese translations of lyrics by Tatsuo Shirasawa Naxos Japan
