67 lossless recordings of Monteverdi Vespro della Beata Vergine. Flac/Ape in separate tracks, scans, score. Added BBC Record Review broadcast about the work. Enjoy!
Added 1989 BBC film that reproduces the amazing acoustics of the Basilica di San Marco in Venezia, used as a theatrical set. John Eliot Gardiner introduces in the bonus documentary an interesting and concise discussion of the context of this work, and explains that this music is what convinced him to become not an historian but a musician.
Added truly remarkable 2015 BBC documentary The Genius of Monteverdi’s Vespers: Simon Russell Beale travels to Italy to explore the story of the notorious Duke of Mantua and his long-suffering court composer Claudio Monteverdi during the turbulent times of the late Italian Renaissance. Out of the volatile relationship between the duke and the composer came Monteverdi's Vespers of 1610, a major turning point in western music. The Sixteen, led by Harry Christophers, explore some of the radical and beautiful choral music in this dramatic composition.
