蒙台威爾第: 牧歌集全集 繁盛藝術古樂團 / (3CD) Les Arts Florissants / Monteverdi Madrigals Vols. 1-3

 A noble genre inherited from the Renaissance, the madrigal
became with Monteverdi a veritable experimental laboratory. It
accompanied the composer throughout his long life, as is
demonstrated by this three-disc anthology of his finest
madrigali. From Cremona to Venice by way of Mantua, Paul
Agnew and Les Arts Florissants invite us to relive with them
this major revolution in musical thought, the heir to a lofty
humanism, which found its natural culmination in the nascent
Baroque movement of the early seventeenth century.
