EARLY MUSIC NEWS COMMENTING ON THE 'CONSORT OF MUSICKE': "THEY COULD HAVE NO BETTER OPPORTUNITY TO DEMONSTRATE THEIR SKILL THAN IN THE MAGNIFICENT MADRIGALS BY MONTEVERDI'S ATTENTION TO CLARITY OF PRONUNCIATION AND THE NATURAL RHYTHMIC MOVEMENT OF THE ITALIAN LANGUAGE...HAS ALWAYS BEEN A STRENGTH OF THE GROUP." And in addition the Consort is distinguished by vitality, excitement and progressive exploration. Enough said!!! Montrverdo's eighth book of madrigals was the last to be published in his lifetime and represents a summation of his work in this genre. As its title implies, the eighth book is divided into two sections, devoted respectively to madrigals of war and madrigals of love. In his long preface to the volume, Monteverdi referred to the 'humours' in man (an idea current in his era) concluding that it should be possible for music to inspire calmness as well as agitation(relating to love and war) in its listeners. In fact,he claimed to have invented a new agitated style in 'Il Combattimento'. With the tender and impassioned style, the 'Madrigali amoroso' provided the perfect foil to the 'Madrigali guerrieri'. This two CD set is a real treasure for Monteverdi fans. The singers are skilled in this genre and are totally enjoyable to hear. They are:Emma Kirkby & Evelyn Tubb (sopranos)- Mary Nichols & Kristine Szulik (altos)-Paul Agnew,Andrew King and Richard Edgar Wilson (tenors)- Alan Ewing and Allan Parkes (basses).
