With this extraordinary CD, La Venexiana celebrates its tenth project in collaboration with Glossa. And it does so in a big way, with this forceful live recording of the best-known madrigals by the greatest of madrigal composers: Claudio Monteverdi. Once again La Venexiana shows why the critics consider it “the best Italian vocal ensemble on the scene”, in this dazzling recital which exudes both energy and virtuosity, adding that special touch of spontaneity which characterises all good concerts.

The best-loved performers are all there: Rossana Bertini, Claudio Cavina, Giuseppe Maletto, Daniele Carnovich, Fabio Bonizzoni... In short, a celebration of the best Italian music on a CD that will provide a lifetime of enjoyment.
