Toelichting:
This First Book of Madrigals for 6 voices counts 19 madrigals - from which one by Claudio Merulo - is incomplete in the edition of 1566, and therefore omitted here. The last of the 18 madrigals presented here is a Serenata in 4 parts, that is a work on its own with the considerable duration of more than 15 minutes. This Serenata is separately available.
This album contains madrigals with an intricacy seldom seen and heard in that period, showing the mastership of Striggio. While in his time there was always a certain measure of homophony in the Italian madrigals - until the Flemish composers came in - Striggio’s madrigals are more polyphonic and show a texture of great beauty.
