Description:

[Originale Series] The "Sounds of the Times" of Bach and Mozart. Long-awaited re-release of rare original instrumental performance recordings by Teldec, Erato, former Virgin Classics, and former EMI! Selected performances on original instruments. Original jackets are used whenever possible. Philippe de Monte was a Flemish composer, vocalist, and music teacher of late Renaissance music, and the most influential composer of madrigals in the late 16th century. A prolific composer, he left behind a varied body of both religious and secular music, culminating in a late style that emphasizes short motives and homophonic textures. The Hilliard Ensemble and a consort led by recorder player Case Bucke, who was a pupil of Bruchen (and also includes Bruce Dickey and Toyohiko Sato), have brought De Monte's music back to life in this masterful performance. First domestic release ●Commentary, lyrics, and bilingual translation included ●Date of recording: December 1981
