CD info

Michelangelo Rossi (1601-1656) was, in addition to an outstanding violonist and organist, one of the most significant composers of the Italian Renaissance period. Paul Van Nevel has discovered three of Rossi's instrumental works and thirteen of his ground-braking madrigals and presents them here for the world premiere recording with his award-winning Huelgas Ensemble.

Tracks

Per non mi dir ch'io moia

Alma afflitta, che fai?

Ohimé, se tanto amate

Partite sopra La Romanesca

Era l'anima mia

O miseria d'amante

Mentre d'ampia voragine tonante

Moribondo mio pianto

Or che la notte

Voi volete ch'io mora

Langue al vostro languir

Come sian dolorose

Toccata Settima

Ah dolente partita

Chieci desir

Occhi, un tempo mia vita
