Monteverdi: Madrigali Guerrieri e Amorosi

Edwin Loehrer (2024 Remastered, Lugano 1963)

1 disc(s) - 13 track(s)

Total length: 00:59:56

 

The Eighth Book of Madrigals, published by Monteverdi in Venice in 1638 at the age of seventy-two, preceded by a dedication to Emperor Ferdinand III dated September 1st, bears the title Madrigali Guerrieri e Amorosi. It represents the pinnacle and synthesis of his madrigal creations, being the last collection of this genre published during his lifetime. A comprehensive tribute must be paid to Edwin Loehrer, the first to reveal the fervor, passion, intensity, and poetry of Monteverdi's Madrigals. His interpretations stand alongside those of Alfred Deller or Safford Cape.

Many details may seem open to criticism now that our ears have grown accustomed to the perfection of contemporary ensembles such as Les Arts Florissants or Musica Antiqua Köln. Nonetheless, this perspective on Monteverdi shines with intelligence, and its expressiveness and conviction remain timeless. They evoke a profound emotion in every phrase, every inflection, every passionate or contented sigh. The recording by Edwin Loehrer was awarded the Grand Prix of the Académie Charles Cros as well as the National Grand Prix of Belgium.
