Documente Ale Culturii Muzicale Vocale În Muntenia Moldova Si Transilvanià Discul Nr. 2 Secole XVI-XVIII

Released by Electrecord under catalog number ST-ECE 01277, this recording serves as the second volume in a specialized series dedicated to preserving historical Romanian vocal music. Produced during the height of the Corul Madrigal’s prominence under the direction of founder Marin Constantin, the record aims to archive compositions spanning the 16th to 18th centuries from the regions of Wallachia, Moldavia, and Transylvania. The project was conceived as a rigorous academic and cultural endeavor to document the liturgical and secular vocal traditions that defined the Romanian principalities during the late Renaissance and Baroque eras.

The aesthetic and technical approach of the recording reflects the precision and characteristic clarity for which the Madrigal Choir became internationally renowned. Marin Constantin sought to bridge the gap between historical musicology and modern performance, utilizing the choir’s signature polyphonic style to revive scores that had largely been relegated to archives. Upon its release, the recording was recognized for its contribution to the preservation of national intangible heritage, cementing the ensemble's reputation as a custodian of early Romanian musical identity within the broader European classical tradition.
