Monteverdi’s most admirable trait is the enormous diversity of compositional techniques that he masters and interweaves with supreme skill. Our aim in this recording is to bring out the varietà of his secular compositions. The modernity that runs like a constant thread through his pieces and makes his music seem timeless even in the twenty-first century is self-evident if one considers, for example, his use of ostinato basses. Jazz musicians are supposed to have ‘invented’ the walking bass in the 1940s, but already in Monteverdi we find ostinato basses which diverge from the standard ostinatos of the seventeenth century, that are unique of their kind and sound extremely modern.” – Christina Pluhar

“The technical perfection, and the easy informality with each other and the music, with which these pieces are performed, makes for a captivating listen. one of the most exciting Baroque performances to hit the record shelves this year. A Must Listen.” – BBC Magazine
