Description:

Monteverdi Meets Jazz! La Venexiana's latest is hot!　Complete Madrigale, Orfeo, and Poppea's Crowning: ....... La Venexiana is the premier Latin vocal ensemble led by Claudio Cavina, who is arguably the most knowledgeable about all of Monteverdi's music. The new challenge for these evangelists, who have been sharing Monteverdi's music in all genres, including secular and religious music, is to combine Monteverdi with jazz!　Cavina & La Venexiana, who brought this surprising idea to fruition, are not performing a jazz version of Monteverdi, nor are they changing the original score at all. The key to this is the presence of a jazz quartet of saxophonists, accordion, double bass, and drums, including Emmanuel Sisi, who is one of the top saxophonists on the jazz scene. The music of Monteverdi by La Venexiana and the improvisations of special jazz players. The jazz elements present in Monteverdi's music, which is a series of original ideas, are skillfully expressed.All of this is the "Monteverdi meets Jazz" set up by Cavina & La Venexiana! Here is a unique Monteverdi that is innovative, challenging, and yet spicy! Tokyo M-Plus
