L'Amfiparnaso

BBC Radio 3
on BBC Radio 3

A madrigal comedy In three acts by Orazio Vecchi (1597)
Vecchi's' commedia harmonica' might have been designed for radio. The composer wrote: ' the spectacle.... is grasped by the mind ... Keep quiet and, instead of looking, now listen.' What we hear is a sequence of madrigals of all types, sung by the traditional characters of the commedia dell' arte.
