Product description

Michel Godard's "Monteverdi - A Trace of Grace" is a captivating blend of French jazz and Baroque influences, recorded in the serene setting of the Abbaye de Noirlac in France. Released in 2011 under Carpe Diem Records Berlin, this album is a testament to Godard's virtuosity and his ability to seamlessly merge contemporary jazz with classical compositions.

The album opens with a duet from Monteverdi's final opera, "L'Incoronazione di Poppea," setting the stage for a journey through time and musical styles. Godard's mastery of the serpent and other wind instruments shines throughout the 13 tracks, each offering a unique fusion of jazz improvisation and Baroque elegance. From the hauntingly beautiful "Pur ti miro" to the soothing "A Trace of Grace," the album is a rich tapestry of sounds that will captivate any music enthusiast.

"Monteverdi - A Trace of Grace" is not just an album; it's an experience. The combination of Godard's innovative arrangements and the historic recording location creates an atmosphere that is both intimate and expansive. Whether you're a fan of jazz, classical music, or simply appreciate exceptional musicianship, this album is sure to leave a lasting impression.
