Monteverdi's Seventh and Eighth Books represent the ultimate culmination of the 'representative madrigal', that veritable musical theatre of the human passions. In Il Combattimento di Tancredi e Clorinda the genre far surpasses its original boundaries and almost becomes a small opera in its dramatic power.
This title was released for the first time in 1993
