REVIEWS
EDITOR’S CHOICE
“Anyone who is smitten with the
musical traditions of this most fascinating of all cities, should not hesitate to buy this record.”
GRAMOPHONE
“This is a recording which plugs a gaping hole in our knowledge of the Italian madrigal with music of fabulous richness. Together with their recent recording of music by Thomas Tomkins this new release marks a real maturing of I Fagiolini’s talent. Its also a good day for Andrea Gabrieli - frankly, no one ever suspected his secular stuff was anywhere near this good. This is quite simply one of the most enthralling madrigal anthologies on the market.”
