Il combattimento di Tancredi e Clorinda and Other Madrigals from Book VIII

Album by Claudio Monteverdi & Società cameristica di Lugano & Edwin Loehrer

Il combattimento di Tancredi e Clorinda and Other Madrigals from Book VIII is a collection of madrigals by Claudio Monteverdi, published in 1638. The music merges late Renaissance polyphonic technique with emerging Baroque dramatic practice, using expressive solo declamation, contrasts between voices and instruments and innovative text‑setting that signal a transition in Monteverdi's late career and in the development of Baroque vocal drama.
First released: 1967
