Claudio Monteverdi, Composer La Compagnia del Madrigale |
Author: David Fallows
But the main virtue of this issue is obviously the singing of La Compagnia del Madrigale, a group that essentially began life in Claudio Cavina’s group La Venexiana and became independent in 2009 as Cavina’s career moved more into opera. This is a superb ensemble, with the wonderful Rossana Bertini as first soprano and with Maletto perhaps as the guiding force, though they identify no ‘leader’ as such. Their sound is beautifully focused, with just enough expression to make the best of the music without exaggerating anything. What is also clear is that they are all fully inside Monteverdi’s style and his music; and after earlier discs devoted to Marenzio and Gesualdo it is very good to welcome these musicians back into the world of Monteverdi. The sound quality and the presentation are admirably clear.
