Il combattimento di Tancredi e Clorinda: Madrigali guerrieri ed amorosi

Album by Claudio Monteverdi & Les Arts Florissants & William Christie

Il combattimento di Tancredi e Clorinda is a dramatic madrigal by Claudio Monteverdi, published in 1638 as part of his Madrigali guerrieri et amorosi (Eighth Book of Madrigals). The work uses early Baroque monodic recitative, expressive text‑painting and varied continuo textures, employing Monteverdi's stile concitato to dramatise combat and grief and exemplifying a move towards theatrical, operatic modes of vocal expression in his late madrigal output.
First released: 1993
