Sigismondo d'India (c. 1582 – before 19 April 1629) was an Italian composer of the late Renaissance and early Baroque eras. He was one of the most accomplished contemporaries of Monteverdi, and wrote music in many of the same forms as the more famous composer.

Not only this But he  did perhaps inspired the great Claudio Monteverdi  and Obviously Carlo Gesualdo, is early work shown he was great has Franco-Flemish for motets (think Gombert per Se).

He one of the smarter yet most ignore composer no one talk about him , than I will. Anyone has something to share, am I the only one who dig his works here on GmG?

Comment if you like him , what your best Sigismondo release CD or Vinyl
, what do you think of fabulous label Glossa whom publish his madrigals (complete).

I noticed  he squeeze between Monteverdi and Gesualdo ''grandeur'',
La Venexiana publish all his madrigals his motets are rare to find beside the excellent album, a CD publish in 2000 Sigmondo d'india Mottetti which is excellent. Two exclusive vinylwhit Ensemble concerto vocal Italiano, sorry but this one I would find it drab ,, but the 1978 release just before this called The fives centuries (ensemble) made a more interesting LP  whit motet and madrigal and a dazzling instrumental music, viola DE Gambia, I am sold to this instrument,, what else can I say, he an important composer to the same level of Giaches DE wert similar since  same time spade, the only difference DE Wert did not wrote opera only polyphony and like Sigmondo made  raving sweet motets and madrigal whom would subject he influence Gesualdo and Monteverdi, this my friend is not a singular detail , this is telling , than I ask why does anyone into Sigismondo, he a very smart composer very talented.
