Combattimento di Tancredi e Clorinda / Three Madrigals

Performed by; Mainzer Kammerorchester; Günter Kehr

Classical Music || Baroque Period, Madrigals
 
///

"Combattimento di Tancredi e Clorinda" serves as one of Monteverdi's most important pieces within his catalogue of compositions and Madrigal's, an early example of cantata dramatic, vividly capturing the tragic combat of Tancredi and Clorinda, a war between a Christian knight and Saracen warrior. Powerful and emotive vocal performances with beautiful string and harpsichord accompaniment. The three madrigals; SV 117, SV 139, & SV 163c offer some of Monteverdi's most gorgeous, emotionally driven and poignant moments within his repertoire. Günter Kehr and his Mainzer Kammerorchester perform these pieces exceptionally, except for the parts where it doesn't.
