Cappella Mariana
Claudio Monteverdi: Madrigals of War and Love and War.

Simon Heighes introduces a concert recorded earlier in the summer at Riding Castle Hall, Litomysl in the Czech Republic.
The ensemble Cappella Mariana, directed by Vojtěch Semerád, performs music to mark the 450th anniversary of the birth of Claudio Monteverdi, including a selection from his 6th and 8th books of madrigals, along with instrumental works by Merula, Piccinini and Castello.

These were very good indeed.

Yes, the Piccinini (and the sound of chitarone) was wonderful. I can’t find the performer but I was very glad when I found this a while ago.
