[Machine Translation] La Fonte Verde is a full-fledged vocal ensemble formed by Mitori Suzuki. The ensemble is now releasing "Volume 5" of its ongoing recording of Monteverdi's Madrigale in its entirety! This major project, the first of its kind by a Japanese composer and one of the few of its kind in Europe, focuses on the composer's development and changes in style, following the life of Monteverdi as the project progresses. The life work of the composer, known exclusively for his operas and other large-scale works, will now be presented in a volume that spans half a century! Monteverdi was a composer who opened the door to the Baroque era with operas such as "Orfeo" and "The Crowning of Poppea". From the first volume of his Madrigale, published in 1587, to the eighth volume in 1638, Monteverdi spent half a century pursuing new compositional techniques and styles. He continued to pursue new compositional techniques and styles. La Fonteverde, who was growing in maturity, sings in exquisite harmony the fifth volume, in which the transition from Renaissance to Baroque becomes clear with the addition of string instruments such as sinfonia. Includes Japanese obi, commentary, and bilingual lyrics.
