Music-lovers, don't be fooled - the title of this album La Dolce Vita, is not any kind of allusion to Fellini. Monteverdi is and remains a Mantuan, and above all a Venetian, without any particular link to the Rome portrayed by the film-maker. At the most, in this recording by the Lautten Compagney and the soprano Dorothee Mields (who sings on almost all the tracks), we can see a sort of series of scenes - as in the famous film - but in this case they are "musical scenes" taken from a range of Monteverdi's great successes: books of madrigals, some religious works, and above all the two masterpieces from Monteverdi's most mature period, which are the Madrigali guerrieri e amorosi and Selva morale e spirituale. The Lautten Compagney, in spite of its name, is not just an ensemble for lutists, but a baroque and renaissance orchestra which uses the instrumentation of the period: violin, viola, viol de gamba, double-bass/violone, percussion, harpsichord, organ, theorbo, recorders, post horn, baroque guitar and also - all the same - the lute, which is played by the lead musician, Wolfgang Katschner. To be sure, all these works have already been recorded a hundred times over, but in the case of this music, the great freedom which the scores permit - often very imprecise in terms of instrumentation - allows each new performance to be a kind of re-composition. So let's salute the arrival of a new Monteverdi! © SM/Qobuz
