Madrigaux

Description

Les madrigaux de Cipriano de Rore revisited with great accuracy by the Graindelavoix ensemble. The mysterious music of the madrigalist Cipriano de Rore must find, thanks to this recording, the clarification that has been lacking for several years. The new album by Bjorn Schmelzer and Graindelavoix, always off the beaten path, celebrates this mystery as a source of illumination! The documents included in the booklet, as well as Schmelzer's texts, breathtaking in their culture, are an integral part of the interpretation. This Portrait of the artist as a hungry dog, imagined by Schmelzer, internalizes the "divine fury" of the artist and announces an extraordinary work and interpretation! Cipriano de Rore, a Flemish artist, worked throughout Europe in the 16th century; he was a crucial musician for the evolution of the madrigal: the program presented by Graindelavoix extends from the music on the Orlando furioso by Ariosto to the late and more radical madrigals.
