Affective contrasts, seducing vocality, effortless virtuosity, and a penchant for intimacy; these are some of the lures of Italian music around 1600. Peter Van Heyghen and Kris Verhelst, two leading specialists in this field, have dedicated their latest recording to this music. Discover and enjoy their flowery selection of ornamented motets and madrigals, song variations, ricercars, toccatas, intonations, capriccios, canzonas and sonatas, performed on historically accurate instruments (three recorders, two harpsichords and an organ).
