Description

The Rodolfus Choir, accompanied by the Southern Sinfonia and directed by Ralph Allwood, presents a luminous recording of Claudio Monteverdi's "Vespers of 1610." This seminal work, a cornerstone of the early Baroque repertoire, is known for its grandeur, intricate counterpoint, and the fusion of Renaissance and Baroque styles. The Vespers is a collection of movements intended for the evening prayer service in the Roman Catholic liturgy, and Monteverdi's setting is one of the most ambitious compositions of sacred music from the period. This 2-CD set from Signum Classics captures the beauty and complexity of the Vespers, with performances that are both historically informed and vibrant, offering a transcendent listening experience that honors Monteverdi's innovative spirit.
