Here is an excerpt of a review of this, along with several other Monteverdi releases:

'Madrigali Guerrieri et Amorosi'

Monteverdi's madrigals were the laboratory in which he sought the connections between music and the emotions, and none are more moving and evocative than those of his eighth and final book, the "Madrigali Guerrieri et Amorosi," (1638). Two new releases offer only selections, but put the music's drama in gratifyingly high relief.

One is a beautifully sung, ravishingly played and lushly recorded collection, "Madrigali Guerrieri et Amorosi," by Jordi Savall and La Capella Reial de Catalunya (Astree E 8546). Dynamics are supple, coloration is flexible and expressive dissonances are pointed up in a way that gives works like "Lamento della Ninfa" and "Gira il nemico" an unusually vivid edge.

Even more picturesque are the performances of "Ballo delle Ingrate" and "Combattimento di Tancredi et Clorinda" -- the two most overtly dramatic pieces in Book VIII -- by Sandro Volta and the Ensemble dell'Opera Barocca del Teatro di Guastalla (Arion ARN 268325, two CD's). In the "Ballo," Mr. Volta uses a boy soprano as Amore and a countertenor as Venus, and does a great deal with spatial effects, and in "Combattimento" he gives the battle music a savage power that makes the graceful ascent at the end all the more touching. Works from other sources are included, too, among them the lovelorn "Sei Languidi Miei Sguardi," by Maurizia Barazzoni.
