Monteverdi's Madrigali Guerrieri et Amorosi performed by Concerto Vocale and conducted by René Jacobs

Concerto Italiano might enjoy a native idiomatic edge but no one could accuse Jacobs of short-changing Monteverdi’s dramatic genius. Cockily red in tooth and claw, judiciously plaintive; a must-have set.
