Guarini and the Madrigal: Shepards and Nymphs, Together or Not

The Monteverdi Consort performs stunning settings of the most famous passages from Il Pastor Fido- a treasure trove of verse for the Italian madrigalists- as well as other Guarini poems, most on the subject of love (the good, the bad, and the downright ugly).Composers incluse Marenzio, Wert, Pallavicino, D'India, Gesualdo and (naturally) Claudio Monteverdi. This concert is part of the Sonoma Early Music Festival: Claudio Monteverdi and the Dawn of the Baroque
