According to Stefano Russomanno in his excellent notes for this collection, "Monteverdi's Fifth Book of Madrigals is a pivotal work.The door leading to drama and the representative style was now open. Monteverdi would not be long in crossing it: two years later, L'Orfeo would come to light." There is nobody better than La Venexiana to uncover the fascinating evolution of Italian music at one of its greatest moments.
