5.0 out of 5 stars Exquisite...amazing...sublime!, February 8, 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Monteverdi: Quinto Libro de Madrigali (Fifth Book of Madrigals) (Audio CD)
If I could give this 10 stars I would. This performance of Monteverdi's 5th book is by far the most intense listening that i have experienced from a recording in a long, long time. Concerto Italiano takes these pieces where they have seldom been before...into the high heavens of outer space and the most intimate and hair-raising depths of your inner space. The recording quality is so clean that you can almost hear, in the prepatory breaths, what the singers had for breakfast. But seriously, the extreme dramatic qualities of Allesandrini's interpretations to the exquisite intonation to the amazing skill and sensitivity of each one of the musicians in Concerto Italiano-- this recording will leave you in tears and wholeheartedly agreeing that Monteverdi was the best composer to ever live.
