Vespro della beata Vergine

Album by Claudio Monteverdi & Concentus Musicus Wien & Arnold Schoenberg Chor & Nikolaus Harnoncourt

Vespro della beata Vergine is a collection of sacred music by Claudio Monteverdi, published in 1610. The work melds late Renaissance polyphonic writing with emerging Baroque concertato techniques, employing solo voices, full choir and varied instrumental forces to produce contrasting textures and dramatic sonorities, and it occupies a pivotal place in Monteverdi's output as a bridge between Renaissance and Baroque practices.

First released: 25th June 1993
