19,00 €excl. Shipping
We are presenting madrigals of the 16th and 17th centuries on this CD, including masterpieces by Gibbons, Flecha, Monteverdi, Gesualdo and Josquin des Préz. “Madrigals of Madness” takes as its theme, indicated in the title, the subject of madness as it is encountered in love, war or loneliness—this is a complex theme which Calmus expresses masterfully and convincingly with high emotionality. The CD booklet expands the musical exploration of this theme from a medical point of view through an interview with a psychiatrist.

Anja Pöche, soprano
Sebastian Krause, alto
