Composer of the Week Podcast5 Elo 2022

Claudio Monteverdi (1567-1643)

Donald explores composer Claudio Monteverdi, one of the most important figures in the development of Western music.

As a composer of both secular and sacred music, over the course of his career he worked for court, church and was one of the key figures in the development of opera. Across this week of programmes, Donald Macleod tracks Monteverdi’s career across three cities, from promising child prodigy, through poverty and plague, to his final years in the priesthood, with huge artistic successes along the way.
