CD Recommendation: Vocal

CD Recommendation

Last week I heard at a friend's place L'Arpeggiata's Via Crucis (Virgin) album, and was immediately taken by it.

Today I was happy to find the ensemble's Monteverdi recording Teatro d'Amore (Virgin) in the public library. It is every bit as inviting, indeed the best Monteverdi disc I have heard. Sample the stunning singing in the youtube below of Lamento della Ninfa and you shall be converted.

These are some of the most beguiling sonorities and singing on disc.
