Monteverdi's Fourth Book of Madrigals for five voices was a real ground-breaking work: the composer tossed aside the rules of classical counterpoint and harmony, making the music subservient to the text it delivered--creating extraordinary pictorial and emotive effects that are surprising even today. Here's just one example: in "Si, ch'io vorrei morire," the voices enter successively on the line "Ahi, car'e dolce lingua" ("Ah, dear sweet tongue"), each voice extending its phrase while the next two voices above enter in their turn, the lines caressing and colliding with each other like the tongues of kissing lovers, the dissonant suspensions like frissons of passion. Concerto Italiano's performance is a revelation: each quicksilver change in tempo or volume is beautifully judged, yet sounds completely spontaneous and natural. --Matthew Westphal

A stunning recording.......2005-07-04

If I had to single out one recording of madrigals to recommend this might quite possibly be it. The performances by Alessandrini and Concerto Italiano are everything the critics have been raving about for a number of years now. They really do take the cake when it comes to being the outstanding madrigal performers of our times - although we now have La Venexiana, who can be put on the same level. The singing here represents a degree of refinement in expressive eloquence that is previously unheard of in this repertoire. This makes this CD gripping listening from start to finish even though all works are sung a capella.

The recording is also well up to the usual high standards of Opus 111.

Fresh, luminous and touching!.......2005-06-14

The best book of Monteverdi sung the very best by the best singers.
This crew - which main members now sing in La Venexiana - must have some strange affinity to Monteverdi! It never sounds 'old' or 'ancient'; you feel rather that Monteverdi is some modern composer, or you feel how young his inventive style must have been felt by his contemporaries. Concerto Italiano - i.e. until the mid 90ies - had some kind of 'analytical' approach, slow, high definition, sophisticated, clear, fresh, young, shining - like the first spring! This luxury production never feels cold or boring, from the first madrigals, 'Ah dolente partita', 'Cor mio' and so on, it is very, very touching. A more happy madrigal like 'A un giro sol de' bell'occhi lucenti' is really a wonder. Rossana Bertini's shrill soprano is specially striking. Highly recommended! I also recommend The second book - Amazon: B0000260SF - by the same group and The third book - Amazon: B00006B1R7- by La Veneziana; almost the same crew and surely the same style.

A very musical and lively recording........1998-12-16

Concerto Italiano gives a refreshing interpretation of Monteverdi's madrigals. Apart from being a well and musically sung recording, it is the expression of the lyrics which makes this CD unique. From listening it is clear that the madrigals were meant to be sung this way: One hears the birds, the wind, the sea and, of course, many lamenting lovers. (Be sure to keep the booklet handy when listening !)

Although the revival of renaissance music has produced many nice recordings (i.e. Kirby), these all seem a bit academic now. Also the other CD-s by this ensemble are worthwhile, but this one is the top. Thank you Concerto Italiano !

beautiful perfomances of exsquisite madrigals.......2005-10-01

The first 3 books of Gesualdo's madrigals don't have the startling chromaticism and the violent rhythmic contrasts of the 5th and 6th books, but they're rich pieces nonetheless and here and there are hints of the over the top imagination of the later works. These performances are characterized by accurate intonation and lovely timbre. This is one of my favorite recordings of Italian madrigals.

Omar Sosa moves from idea to idea, sound to sound, and theme to theme with the attention span of a 4-year-old boy with ADD. Once the Cuban-born pianist immigrated to San Francisco in 1995, he released several albums in quick succession, each with little in common with the others and each featuring a different lineup and influences. Sentir offers an interesting mix of several Moroccan musicians, a rapper, a Cuban vocalist, a Venezuelan percussionist, and the hyperactive Sosa on piano. As one would imagine, there are surprises around every bend as the album unfolds. Highlights include choruses of interwoven vocals--particularly on "Sister in Yellow"--the rich calliope and percussion throughout, and the romantic "Tres Notas en Amarillo." Somehow the Moroccan-Cuban-Latin fusion works for Sosa. This is in part because the songs move along quickly, seldom waiting for ideas to play out. But it's also due to taste and pacing: the album contains some quiet moments that give the listener time to breathe. For music fans with a bent for musical multiculturalism, Sentir is a global music adventure well worth taking. --Tad Hendrickson

More glorious, idiosyncratic music from the great Omar Sosa.......2004-03-06

This is the first I've heard him utilizing an expanded sound palette, and it's pretty spectacular. My previous experiences of Omar Sosa have been in solo or duet settings (see my reviews of New Life, Pictures of Soul, and Ayaguna). Incorporating a huge variety of musical influences, including Moroccan, Venezuelan, American urban, contemporary and straight-ahead jazz, and traditional Cuban, the prodigiously talented emerging Cuban superstar world-jazz pianist on Sentir seamlessly melds these disparate influences into an astounding musical tapestry the likes of which have never before been put to disc before, at least in my rather extensive experience.

I was a little leery of this approach, seeing as it encompasses genres (rap, hip-hop, spoken word) I don't generally listen to. And having been recently burned, at least in my considered judgment, by the highly regarded (in some quarters, at least) hybrid disc featuring Vijay Iyer and Mike Ladd, In What Language, it did (I must admit) take me a while to warm up to this disc. But I trusted my instincts and kept listening to it, and I'm glad I did. Strangely, Sosa's piano playing sounds much more traditionally Cuban, and may be regarded as situated solidly in a wider Latin tradition, on this disc than on his solo or duo offerings, which sound strikingly original, idiosyncratic, and a-referential. That's because, I think, here he wants to see his instrument fully integrated into the larger musical perspective he's here concerned with; that is, he doesn't want it sticking out by it's a-traditional weirdness, unseemingly drawing attention to itself.

OK, I'm going to come clean. There's no use writing these reviews if they're not going to be as transparent as one can reasonably make them. Simply stated, the themes of this album seem naively in the peace-and-justice camp. I have nothing particular against this orientation; indeed, as a Catholic Christian, many of my co-religionists espouse such a viewpoint. (Note: I know it's not entirely kosher to bring politics and religion into these reviews; some of the best reviewers--perhaps rightly--eschew this approach. But there are times when I feel it's appropriate, especially if the material I'm reviewing operates in that world.) In any case, even though the peace-and-justice approach may be politically and religiously naïve, that doesn't preclude it from being the means of profound aesthetic statement. Some of Bruce Cockburn's work might be seen in a similar light, esp. "If I Had a Rocket Launcher." To me, this is a terminally stupid song, if considered simply from the standpoint of the plain meaning of its lyrics. This kind of alienation from America and the West, seen, perhaps, most clearly in the films of Oliver Stone, is entirely unattractive to me. But the underlying sentiments such a point of view seeks to express, i.e., concern for the oppressed and downtrodden, for the victims of globalization, world capitalism, and other depredations of modern life, are entirely valid. That they've received expression in a naïve and artless way doesn't negate their validity. And when they come wrapped in wondrous soundscapes, as Cockburn's work often does and Sosa's work almost always does, one can forgive almost any amount of politico-religious inanity. At least that's how I see it.

Despite having struggled to come to terms with his chosen format (and, eventually, genuinely come to appreciate it), I for one would like to hear him in an entirely wordless large group setting. I say this because the (sans lyrics) musical palette he creates on such numbers as "Oda al Negro" is so engaging, so aurally spectacular, that I long for an entire disc of this. Nevertheless, one must admit that the way he mixes English, Spanish, and, one presumes, other languages into glorious word-tapestries, is nothing short of astounding (most engagingly, perhaps, on "Sister in Yellow," which should win over even the most hardcore instrumental purist). My advice to those of you who like me might have reservations about the mixing of spoken word, rap, hip-hop, etc., with instrumental world jazz: Just go with the flow. Listen to that inner voice that seeks to bring harmony and reconciliation to all things. In a weird way, Omar Sosa's wildly eclectic approach begins to sound perfectly natural as one becomes more familiar with it. Indeed, some of the numbers are certainly enhanced by the vocals, e.g., "Tres Notas en Amarillo."

In any case, I suggest that those of you who might be hesitant to try this because of its eclecticism put aside your doubts and seek to embrace its wonders without prejudice or reservation. That's what I've done, and I'm really glad I did.

Hear it, Feel it.......2003-06-15

Open the windows, make some floor space, put Omar Sosa on and crank your CD player to the max. This collection isn't strong all the way through (hence the 4 stars), but when he scores, it's in a big way. "Cielo y Mar Azules" alone is worth trying it out. If you're a fan of Herbie Hancock's later experimentations, you'll dig this. The combination of African chants, free-form jazz, and urban rap riffs may initially disorient some, but stick with it. You'll grow into it...and the CD will grow permanent roots in your player!

This CD stays near me...........2002-11-03

Often you hear some resonance in an artist's work, a familiar emotion.... you buy the CD, glory in it ... then it works its way to the unplayed pile on the shelf.

This one stays near me... It is so rich, and deep and surprising in its daily discovery... makes you dance, makes you meditate, makes you sad and happy in places you haven't been in a while. It is going in the background and I am working, and then.. I'm deep into a cultural passage that Sosa is illuminating.

This is a really scrumptious meal of an album... for lovers of jazz, latin, rap, history, joyful world fabric of humanity and art.

Transcends the common and taps the vein that joins us all... musicians, artists, bakers, fakirs, and dogs.

Get it today and thank me later
