Overview

Claudio Monteverdi: Missa da Cappella brings the timeless beauty of Renaissance polyphony to life with its foundation on Gombert's motet In Illo Tempore. Complementing this masterpiece are two remarkable contributions by Giovanni Gabrieli (Audi Domine Hymnum and Deus in Nomine Tuo) and the intricate Ricercar by Andrea Gabrieli.

Performed by the Prague Madrigal Singers under Miroslav Venhoda’s direction and joined by Musica Antiqua, Vienna, led by René Clemencic, this album is a splendid tribute to the sacred choral tradition. Recorded in the atmospheric settings of St. James Church and the Cathedral of the Virgin Mary in Prague, the album exudes authenticity and reverence, enriched by Jaroslav Vodrážka’s organ accompaniment.

With pristine engineering and historical insight, this release embodies the spiritual and artistic depth of Renaissance music, making it an essential addition to any classical music collection.
