A madrigal is created with a cappella voices which harmonize like a delicate bouquet, weaving poetry to music. They were created in the Renaissance period, and capture love, longing, and nature in intricate, expressive lines, like whispered letters sung aloud. This concert offers a lyrical, evocative journey through selected madrigals from Monteverdi’s 4th book. Under Herreweghe’s masterful direction and Collegium Vocale Gent’s signature vocal clarity, you can immerse yourself in Tuscan beauty.
