Claudio Monteverdi, the great Italian master of the late Renaissance and early Baroque, profoundly marked the history of music by bringing the madrigal to a peak of expressivity, and by setting the tone for the musical construction of truly dramatic sung scenes.
Ensemble Madrigal presents a selection of madrigals from the 4? to 8? books, published between 1603 and 1638, on the themes of Mars and Love. More than actual warfare, Monteverdi explores the inner struggles of the soul in the face of desire and passion.
Directed by Jean-Christophe Gauthier, the Ensemble Madrigal brings together experienced singers, students and young professionals, and is associated with the Conservatoire de Limoges.
