The cover for Madrigali dell’Estate is complete and wonderfully captures the atmosphere of the song-cycle that lends its title to the CD. D’Annunzio’s poems are full of descriptions of the natural world, the smells and sounds of the sea and the Abruzzo coast; of late summer and the decline into autumn, accompanied by the faint whiff of decay.
