Magdalena Kožená Magdalena Kožená embarks on another early musical adventure!
Following her highly acclaimed 'Vivaldi' and 'Lettere Amorose' albums, the Czech mezzo-soprano now presents a collection of Monteverdi works. In this release on the Archiv Production label, Kožená demonstrates her remarkable ability to convey the meaning of the words, rather than simply striving for vocal beauty. Notable highlights of this recording include her singing in 'Lamento della ninfa' with male choir and her performance with Anna Prohaska in pieces from Monteverdi's 'L'incoronazione di Poppea'. The recordings were made in 2014 in the Church of St. German of Auxerre in Seewen with the La Cetra Baroque Orchestra Basel, conducted by Andrea Marcon.
