MONTEVERDI: Il Quarto Libro dei Madrigali<br />
La Dolce Maniera<br />

From the introduction by Luigi Gaggero:<br />
“In our interpretation of the Fourth Book, we have considered the poetic text as the guiding element that defines all other<br />
musical parameters: dynamics, rhythm, colors and vocal gestures. Absolute respect of the prosody of these texts (and<br />
not only the search for clear and correct pronunciation, but also the respect of the metric, rhyme and internal assonance)<br />
has led us to look for an ever-changing tonal palette, linked to the emotional movement of the affects, and a variety of<br />
vocal gestures closely related to the meaning of the poems. In particular, taking into account the fact that Monteverdi<br />
wrote 'L’Orfeo', the first true masterpiece in the history of opera, only four years after the publication of the Fourth book,<br />
we felt it was important to seek the harmony of the whole without losing the personality and autonomy of each single<br />
voice within the madrigal: only in this way, we believe, can one underline the genius of Monteverdi, who, with a sensitivity<br />
that has few equals in the history of art, tells us with infinite love about the human soul, and the voices that inhabit it”.
