This album is based on the tradition of the virtuoso of earlier times, who were able to adapt all kinds of music to the idiomatic language of their instruments. The title “Giants” refers to the recorded composers; each in his own way in his time can be considered a giant: with Monteverdi certainly began the era of the Baroque, which in turn led Bach to its great end, while Gesualdo in his madrigals in search of expression across all borders and musical conventions of his time.
