Monteverdi: Vespro Della Beata Vergine

Opis albumu:

- Dedicated to Pope Paul V, Monteverdi s Vespers of 1610 is one of the
great masterpieces of the early Baroque. The score features an amazing
variety of styles - grand choral and instrumental, solo motets, two settings
of the Magnificat, duets and trios in the latest monodic style, and above
all, a sense of theatre, which might be explained by Monteverdi s
composition of two operas at around the same time, L Orfeo and
L Arianna.

- Monteverdi s Vespers are performed regularly nowadays, and count
among the iconic choral masterworks of the Renaissance/Baroque.

- This festive new recording by the Ensemble San Felice, conducted by
Federico Bardazzi, features authentic instruments (cornettos and
trombones!) and a line of excellent Italian vocal soloists.
