Giaches de Wert, Flemish composer linked to the fabulous courts of Mantua and Ferrara, paved the way for innovations in madrigal writing, that seconda prattica most associated with Monteverdi. This recording includes some of his last madrigals on Tasso's Gierusalemme liberata and Battista Guarini's Pastor fido. The historical singers of La Venexiana (Rossana Bertini, Giuseppe Maletto, Sandro Naglia, Daniele Carnovich and, of course, Claudio Cavina) shine brilliantly in this wonderful repertoire deserving to be better known.
