Monteverdi鈥檚 ground-breaking Vespers of 1610, composed to impress the basilica authorities at St Mark鈥檚 Venice, is an astonishing display of its composer鈥檚 musical powers. Immediately acknowledged as a masterwork of the sacred choral repertoire, with everything from intimate solos to the grandest choral and instrumental writing, the Vespers exploits every musical device known at the time to thrilling effect. Joining the 鲍鱼tv Singers and St James鈥檚 Baroque in this performance, virtuoso vocal ensemble I Fagiolini bring their acclaimed brand of Monteverdian excitement.
