The Early Music ShowThe Madrigal Comedy
Saturday 24 July 2004 13:00-14:00 (Radio 3)
At the end of the 16th century, the Madrigal Comedy became the most advanced form of musical theatre. These madrigals, like opera that was to follow, were available to those few rich or grand enough to afford this kind of entertainment. Lucie Skeaping presents a programme which explores the Madrigal Comedies written by composers such as Vecchi and Banchieri, performed by Ensemble Clement Janequin.
