Notes & Reviews:

Kapsberger’s Shepherds of Bethlehem at the Birth of Our Savior Jesus Christ was published in 1630, when the sacred dialogue madrigal enjoyed high popularity in Rome. The text by Giulio Rospigliosi, Rome’s most distinguished poet at the time, is set by the composer in a varied sequence of monodic recitatives and homophonic choral pieces, with close attention to the content and structure of the language. The genre of the sacred dialogue madrigal is considered to be the forerunner of the Baroque oratorio.

"Echo du Danube's playing is intricate, busy and colourful...There is also beguiling use of a sordellina, a traditional Italian bagpipe...Chiyuki Okamura is suitably angelic in her delivery of good news and the other five voices combine together beautifully." - Gramophone
