Monteverdi: Daylight. Stories of Songs, Dances and Loves

Falconieri, Andrea, Marini, Biagio, Monteverdi, Claudio

Alessandrini, Rinaldo, Concerto Italiano

OP 7366

This recording marks an intermediate step on the way to the complete recording of all Monteverdi madrigals by RINALDO ALESSANDRINI. "Daylight" follows the album "Night", released in 2017 on the occasion of Monteverdi's 350th birthday.

Not only do we once again have the thematic, non-chronological concept - a kind of "best of" from Monteverdi's nine books of madrigals and operatic arias, complemented by instrumental pieces by Falconieri and Marini - but ALESSANDRINI also follows its own closed dramaturgy here, from early morning to the full sunlight of day. Carried by the experienced voices of the CONCERTO ITALIANO and an extraordinarily diverse instrumental ensemble, this music strives toward the rising sun, allowing the glories of nature to shine in the light of day.
