Our Take

DELITIAE MUSICAE, the Italian early music ensemble led by Marco Longhini, indulge us once again with their rendition of Monteverdi's Madrigals Book 2. Known for their exuberant and passionate performances, this album is no exception, delivering a blend of heartfelt expressiveness and technical precision that will have you reaching for your powdered wig and corset in no time.

Longhini's interpretation of Monteverdi's intricate compositions is a joy to behold, as he navigates the delicate balance between the playful and the profound with finesse. From the hauntingly beautiful "Non partir, ritrosetta" to the lively and spirited "Vattene pur, crudel," each madrigal is a gem in its own right, shimmering with emotional depth and musical nuance.

The ensemble's musicianship is top-notch, with each member bringing their own unique flair to the table. The vocalists' harmonies are tight and polished, while the instrumentalists display a level of skill and artistry that is nothing short of awe-inspiring.

Overall, DELITIAE MUSICAE's take on Monteverdi's Madrigals Book 2 is a triumph, showcasing the group's boundless creativity and unwavering dedication to the music of the past. So grab a glass of your finest Chianti, sit back, and let the strains of these exquisite madrigals transport you to a time of love, longing, and exquisite beauty. Cheers to Longhini and his talented ensemble for a job well done.
