' The heart of Monteverdi's music lies in his madrigals.'
(DENIS ARNOLD )
Monteverdi's development of the form from traditional Dieces with five unaccompanied voices to works in free melodic style with strings and continuo is one of the most interesting features of his music. Each of this week's programmes includes pieces from Book Eight and contrasts them with madrigals from the other seven books, and the posthumously published ninth book.
