Product Description

Claudio Monteverdi: Vespers of the Blessed Virgin, 1610
2 CD Set

The Choir of the Enlightenment
Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment
Robert Howarth, Director and Harpsichord

Recorded live in Hall One, Kings Place, London on 30 August 2010
from a concert presented by the Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment.

This disc represents a new orchestra partnership for Signum Records with The Orchestra of the Age of the Englightenment, one of London and the world’s leading period-instrument ensembles. Led by Robert Howarth, the recording was made at Kings Place following the orchestras successful 2010 tour of the work.

On the Vespers, Robert Howarth writes: "For me, Monteverdi’s music enhances the text beautifully. It doesn’t matter whether one is religious or not, this music touches the human soul and reflects, sincerely and passionately the true meaning of the texts in the psalms and motets … You don’t need to know what’s being sung to hear that this is a masterpiece. However, it was Monteverdi’s intention to show you his thoughts on the texts and I think it is that intention that drives this music." ( SIGNUM )
