Les vêpres de la vierge

Description

How can one describe this summit of sacred music, which seals the link between the polyphony of the Renaissance and the splendid, virtuosic opulence of the Baroque? A masterpiece of striking modernity? Published three years after L'Orfeo, written over the course of about ten years, the collection of Vespro della beata Vergine is a profusion of colors and daring, a range of styles and forces, a deeply personal testament to Monteverdi’s genius that inspired all of Europe. At the head of Cappella Mediterranea and the Chœur de chambre de Namur, Leonardo Garcia Alarcon infuses it, with rare vitality, with a feeling that is both intense and tender, a fervor and a grace of great subtlety. While placing these Vespers of 1610 within the liturgy, he highlights their flashes of brilliance and boldness. This 2-disc box set was recorded in Ambronay to celebrate the opening of the 2013 Festival
