Synopsis

Album Description
Paul McCreesh and his Gabrieli Consort & Players present a new recording of one of the early masterpieces of the Baroque era, Monteverdi's Vespro della beata vergine, a collection of psalm settings for Vespers published in 1610. With its structural clarity and focus on the beauty of the human voice, it outshines much of the sacred music of the following decades. Along with assembling his usual formidable cast of Baroque specialist singers, Paul McCreesh had two special violins made exclusively for this recording.
