Hosted by Rachel Stewart
In the 16th century, four Flemish composers made their mark on the Habsburg Court. Some of their work even anticipated the madrigals of Monteverdi. The vocal ensemble Cinquecento brings their beautiful songs to life on the new album, "Amorosi pensieri, Songs for the Habsburg Court." We'll explore some of their work on this week's show.
