About

The fourteen Sonetti Spirituali (1580) of the Sicilian-born Pietro Vinci (c. 1525–84) manifest an extraordinary blend of the secular and the religious in a narrative largely concerned with the birth, death and transfiguration of Christ. Setting Petrarchan texts by the aristocratic Vittoria Colonna (c.1490–1547), a close friend of Michelangelo, in five parts, Vinci marries the stylised gestures of the Mannerist madrigal and the spiritual sincerity of the Latin motet, creating an unusually expressive hybrid that manages to be both texturally complex and emotionally direct. Here the Boston-based viol consort Nota Bene is joined by some of the best early-music voices in New England.

Reviews

November 2020

The high standard of interpretation and performance in the first madrigal pair is consistent throughout the recording, which should come as no surprise given the performers, who are among the finest in the field. Though there are insecure ensemble moments occasionally, these are few and far between. Some listeners may prefer more dramatic renderings of this music, but I find these restrained, subtle performances a more intelligent approach for the music and its context.

June 2020

The five voices, well blended throughout this disc, capture a domestic immediacy in the music by being quite closely recorded. Collectively they take centre stage, with the viols of Nota Bene a little more in the background but not at all side-lined. The silvery lines of the latter provide, by turns, just the right degree of plangent echo, gilding, or counterpoint to the vocal texture...Overall this is a worthwhile excursion into a little known but stimulating corner of late Renaissance repertoire.
