Monteverdi 450: Les Talens Lyriques
Live from St John's Smith Square, Christophe Rousset directs Les Talens Lyriques in music by Monteverdi and his contemporaries. In a programme that they have called 'Zefiro Torna,' this leading French early music ensemble explore the opposition between life's beauties and death's violence as portrayed by Monteverdi. Born four hundred and fifty years ago this year, Monteverdi was the pivotal figure as music moved from the polyphonic world of the Renaissance to the solo voice and instrumental world of the Baroque. Les Talens Lyrique's programme draws on some of the most beautiful music from Monteverdi's madrigals of Love and War and also from his ground breaking operas, L'Incoronazione di Poppea and Il Ritorno d'Ulisse in patria. As Les talens Lyriques say: "All human sentiments are here, from the the lightest to the most profound, all captured in music that even today sounds astonishingly modern."
