Four centuries after their publication, Monteverdi's Vespro della Beate Vergine is still just as intriguing. This monument of sacred music explores the most varied forms whilst retaining a remarkable feeling of unity and expressiveness.
Under the baton of Marco Mencoboni this score, the fruit of new musicological research, plays with space in a similar way as did Monteverdi, placing the singers (Roberta Mameli, Francesca Lombardi Mazzulli, Luca Dordolo, Gianpaolo Fagotto amongst others) and instrumentalists in different parts of the church.
A new interpretation to be discovered in an excellent surround sound on 2 SACDs
