Ensemble Vocale VenetoAbout
Today, Scacchi's music is much less well-known than his writings in the field of musical theory. Almost all his career was spent in Poland, where he probably arrived with his master Giovanni Francesco Anerio towards the end of 1624. Scacchi's madrigals, which are early works, recall not only similar compositions by G F Anerio, published in 1599 and 1608, but also Monteverdi's first four books of madrigals. The very choice of poetic texts confirms the influence of the maestro of Cremona. The main theme in Scacchi's compositions is, as normally happens in madrigals, love, especially unhappy love.
Here are his madrigals for four and five parts, along with madrigals by Marenzio, Merula, Monteverdi and Frescobaldi, lovingly performed by Ensemble Vocale Veneto.
