Monteverdi: Madrigals

When I first started this collection, this box-set was in the first purchase I made. I listened to it, and was bored. Due to methodological discipline, I wanted to publish the corresponding post, so I listened to it again. I AM CURED !!
This is one of the best purchases I have done, and the price is fantastic for such a wonder. Really a little piece of heaven (ok, ok, I take it back).

And well, about getting cured. I recently listened a version of Vivaldi's 4 Seasons that played on some radio station. I was shocked to see that I did not enjoy it. I found fault and lack of brightness and intention throughout. Before, I would have been delighted just to have found it. Alas, civilized music listening has killed the last drop of my innocent self.
