| |  | Parole e Querele d’Amore: Madrigali a due vociMusic by Monteverdi, Sances, Strozzi, Rognoni, Valentini, Carissimi
“Mellon and Visse here make a thrilling duo: her silky soprano the perfect complement to his plangent countertenor...producing performances that combine playfulness, passion, youthful spirit and mature style...The instrumentalists of Ensemble Barcarole deserve high praise for their idiomatic, audacious jazzy continuo realisations...All in all, a real box of delights.” BBC Music Magazine, March 2011 ***** “This well-structed recital showcases the differing shared states arising from love...the voices of Visse and Mellon are most often coupled, though there's usually at least a hint of tension between the two, whether by virtue of the subject matter or otherwise...This will seem appropriately daring to some but others may find it uncomfortable.” Gramophone Magazine, June 2011 | | | (also available to download from $10.50) | Usually despatched in 4 - 5 working days.

| |  | Baroque Voices 21 - Arias & Cantatas for Contralto
It was during the Baroque period that the female contralto voice challenged the dominance of the male counter-tenor as the preferred vocal sound in the range between tenor and soprano. This recording, which was a “Gramophone Editor’s Choice” when first released, presents some of the finest pieces written for that voice by, amongst others, Vivaldi, Handel, and Carissimi. They are performed by Sara Mingardo and Concerto Italiano under the direction of Rinaldo Alessandrini. | | | Usually despatched in 3 - 4 working days. |

| |  | Monteverdi - Fire and Ashes
This second volume allows the listener to trace Monteverdi’s evolution from the early Mantuan a cappella madrigals that made his reputation to the late concerted madrigals of the 1630s written for the Viennese court. These styles seem worlds apart, yet both are forged by the same desire, to confront and master the tension between mere art and real life. “…I Fagiolini are at their best in the quietly pastoral pieces. 'Rimanti in pace' is an early masterpiece from Book 3, sung with the tenderest of touches at the melting harmonies, and 'Lagrime d'amante'… is given the most persuasive performance I have heard...” BBC Music Magazine, April 2008 **** “Under Robert Hollingworth's inspired direction, the five singers squeeze all the emotion possible out of the suspensions, both diatonic and chromatic.” Gramophone Magazine, May 2008 | | | (also available to download from $10.50) | Usually despatched in 2 - 3 working days.
