The album's title says it all: we really move from 'amoroso' to 'crudo' – from the amorous to the cruel – across 18 years of writing with lyrics borrowed from love poetry or pastoral verse, Marenzio steers clear of any religious temptation indeed he wrote relatively few religious works.
The two final madrigals offered on this album from the Rossoporpora ensemble, taken from the Ninth and final Book of Madrigals for five voices in 1599, provide a striking example: no sooner does a sequence become clear than Marenzio destroys it with a dissonance, an ineffable disharmony, a perilous chromatism. As he went on, he would develop ever-darker atmospheres which grew increasingly tortured and chromatic, and only Gesualdo would pick up the torch of his harmonic searchings a few years later.
