Madrigaler
In 1608, as the crowning achievement of his training with Gabrieli, Mogens Pedersøn published his First Book of Madrigals with 21 songs of love – both requited and unrequited – in sensual poems. The choral pieces are saturated with images and impressions of all that love. They are moving, intense and sensitive, and even in his youth Mogens Pedersøn was a master of the motion of voices and the use of dissonances that are resolved into the most beautiful concords. A true jewel of Danish music now becomes sounding reality performed in these world premiere recordings by vocal group Musica Ficta under Bo Holten's leadership.
