All the abundance and over-expressiveness of Counter-Reformation Rome shines in this range of madrigals in which the music pays homage to the art of oratory.

Virgil, Le Tasse, Petrarch: it was as a lover of poetry and language that Domenico Mazzochi (1582-1665), a brilliant contributor to the development of Italian opera, created his madrigals. A wealthy gentleman, protected by patrician families, this dilettante of genius perpetuated the spirit of Caccini and Monteverdi by introducing remarkable innovations in dynamic precision, expressiveness and nuance. The subtlety of the vocal balance, required in such a repertoire, is enhanced by the sound of the flutes, the cornet, the bassoon and the theorbo: homage of the music to the "words", and to the Roman civilization of the 17th century . century.
