About

An outstanding collection of vocal music by Claudio Monteverdi.

14 glorious tracks present an exquisitely varied programme on the theme of love in all its conflicting emotions, its joys and sweet pains affecting gods and mere mortals.

An all-star cast includes Carolyn Sampson, Sarah Connolly, Rebecca Outram, Charles Daniels and James Gilchrist joined by The King’s Consort’s highly colourful instrumental ensemble.

Included is the melancholy ‘Lamento della Ninfa’, the virtuosic ‘Zefiro torna’, exquisite love duets, Orfeo’s famous ‘Possente spirto’, a plangent lament from ‘Poppea’, and Monteverdi’s extraordinary ‘Hor che il ciel’.

Recorded in the unsurpassed acoustic of St Jude-on-the-Hill, London.

Contains a 48 page booklet with authoritative liner note by renowned Monteverdi scholar Prof John Whenham, plus full texts and translations.
