About

Behind the somewhat exotic name of Sigismondo D’India is hidden a musician of enormous stature. In the first quarter of the seventeenth century, only the great Monteverdi was his match. His secular vocal music, in particular, is second only to Monteverdi.

In spite of many publications during his lifetime, D’India has not (yet) been rediscovered and become a household name in historically informed performances. An omission which urgently needs correcting - perhaps with this set of three CDs?

This set combines a selection of varied works for one, two and five voices with instrumental accompaniment. They show the composer’s exceptional talent in expressing the sentiments of a text in music. At the time he must have had access to excellent virtuoso singers for this music demands quite a lot from the performers.

The mainly Italian musicians here leave no room for doubts about the composer’s merits. There is more to early Italian Baroque than Monteverdi!
