Vespro della Beata Vergine (1610)

Monteverdi

Cantar Lontano & Marco Mencoboni

Four centuries after their publication, Monteverdi's Vêpres à la Vierge are 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 and instrumentalists in different parts of the abbey. A new interpretation to be discovered!
