About

Over the years Glossa has been at the forefront of releasing recordings of late Renaissance madrigals, and the label has had the pleasure of assisting superlative artists in doing so: none more so than La Venexiana and its director Claudio Cavina.

The recordings date from the dozen years after La Venexiana’s foundation in 1996, a time of great activity for the ensemble, demonstrating very effectively why La Venexiana has been so popular with audiences and consistently fêted by critics.

These are truly exceptional performances, of such interpretative consistency, to take one through the potent 30 years from 1586 onwards; a time when the madrigal reached its zenith. ''L’arte del madrigale' is composed of complete books of madrigals from Luzzaschi, Wert and Marenzio – along with the Neapolitans Gesualdo and D’India. This new box set contains all the booklets for the original recordings (as PDF files) as well as a new essay written by Stefano Russomanno.
