DESCRIPTION
This Philips “Living Baroque” stereo release features Monteverdi’s complete Fourth Book of Madrigals, performed by an outstanding vocal ensemble including Sheila Armstrong, Helen Watts, Robert Tear, Stafford Dean, and Christopher Keyte, under the direction of Raymond Leppard.
The album presents 19 expressive madrigals for five voices — some of Monteverdi’s most emotional and harmonically adventurous works — in a richly detailed early‑music interpretation characteristic of Philips' 1970s classical catalogue.
