Madrigals Of Madness / Calmus Ensemble

Calmus Ensemble

Composed by: Gibbons; Flecha; Josquin

With their new album “Madrigals of Madness” the Calmus Ensemble presents a musical journey to 16th and 17th c. Europe with madrigals from Gibbons, Flecha, Monteverdi, Gesualdo and Desprez. + This first CD of a promised future series of madrigal compilations about the different emotions pictured in the music is about the madness found in love, war, loneliness and lovesickness. + The liner notes contain an interview with a psychiatrist about madness from a medical point of view. + A striking blend of sound, precision, lightness and wit: these are the hallmarks of Calmus – a unique line-up of soprano, countertenor, tenor, baritone and bass voices – now one of the most successful vocal groups in Germany. + The reach of their activities is constantly expanding, taking them throughout Europe as well as North and South America. + They are naturally at home in the vocal music of the Renaissance, the Baroque and the Romantic, with music of our own time – including pop, folk and jazz, as well as chansons and evergreens from the 1920s – also a real passion. + Over the years Calmus has commissioned numerous new works and given many world premieres.
