Composer of the Week

Claudio Monteverdi (1567 - 1643)

Part Two

2/5. When Monteverdi lost both his wife and his favourite pupil within six months of one another, he buried himself in his work. It resulted in an extraordinary collection of madrigals on the themes of love and death. In spite of his grief, he also completed an opera and a ballet for the lavish wedding celebrations for the Duke of Mantuas son.

Donald Macleod introduces these works which helped establish Monteverdis reputation, both in Italy and the rest of Europe.

Concerto Italiano
Rinaldi Alessandrini (director)
