Cor mio, deh non languire (1994)

"Musica Oscura, Rooley's own label, allows him to unveil some exquisite musk.; The riches of the ongoing series 'The Monteverdi Circle' include 21 settings of a single poem, Guarini's lament 'Cor mio, deh non languire'. Far from a daunting expression of unrelieved melancholy, these reveal remarkably inventive madrigals and solo songs, notably by a German, Johann Grabbe, an Englishman, John Ward, and by Alessandro Scarlatti writing in a consciously anachronistic style a hundred years later than the earliest setting."
