The distinguished Italian composer, G. Francesco Malipiero , has done for his countryman, Monteverdi, what Sir Richard Terry, Dr. Fellowes and others have done for our own William Byrd , Thomas Tallis, and the great English Tudor composers.
Listeners will recall a recent 'Foundaions of Music' week, during which a number of the most lovely madrigals ever written were sung by the Wireless Singers. They were by Monteverdi, edited by Malipiero. Listen, therefore, to this symphony, and agree that it can be said of Monteverdi, as it was said of Bach not so many years ago, that as a composer he shows great promise and should have a future.
