Monteverdi: Pianto Della Maddona

Maria Cristina Kiehr (soprano) Concerto Soave, Jean-Marc Aymes

Claudio Monteverdi: Confitebor a voce sola con violini, Currite populi, O quam pulchra es, Venite, videte, Jubilet a voce sola in dialogo, Pianto della Madonna sopra il Lamento dell'Arianna, Salve, O Regina, Exulta, filia Sion, Ecce sacrum paratum a voce sola e B.c. Laudate Dominum Constanzo Antegnati: Ricercar del Decimo Tono, Sinfonia Terzo Tuono, Sinfonia Sesto Tuono, Claudio Merulo: Toccata con minute

Most of Monteverid's motetes for one voice are found in his late publications like the celebrated Selva Morale e Spirituale (venice, 1640). An Absolute master of what he called the Seconda Prattica, he demonstrated in these pieces all of the skill hehad acquired over the years in writing for the solo voice. These performers have striven to revive the typically Venetian context of the time, placing these sublime works in a framework of instrumental toccatas and sinfonias by his contemporaries Marini, Merulo, and Antegnati.
