Description

The RossoPorpora Ensemble made its debut with Arcana with an album dedicated to Luca Marenzio, which won, among other accolades, the German Record Critics' Award and a five-star Diapason review. Forum Opéra praised it as "an album for a desert island." With its second album, the ensemble turns to one of the cornerstones of 17th-century music: Claudio Monteverdi's Sixth Book of Madrigals. RossoPorpora delves deep into the composer's inner world during his final years in Mantua and delivers a deeply moving interpretation of the collection's many masterpieces: "Lamento d'Arianna", "Lagrime d'Amante sul sepolcro dell'Amata", "Zefiro torna", "Oimè 'l bel viso", "Qui rise o Tirsi". A collection of the greatest successes in the history of the madrigal.
