This second volume allows the listener to trace Monteverdi’s evolution from the early Mantuan a cappella madrigals that made his reputation to the late concerted madrigals of the 1630s written for the Viennese court.


These styles seem worlds apart, yet both are forged by the same desire, to confront and master the tension between mere art and real life.
