This double album, released by Brilliant Classics, features two of Monteverdi's groundbreaking masses, the "Messa a quattro voci" (SV 190) and the "Messa in illo tempore" (SV 205), alongside a selection of his sacred vocal works. The album spans over two and a half hours, offering a comprehensive exploration of Monteverdi's mastery of polyphony and his innovative approach to vocal composition.
The album begins with the "Messa a quattro voci," a work that showcases Monteverdi's early mastery of the mass form. This is followed by the "Messa in illo tempore," a later work that demonstrates the composer's continued evolution and experimentation. The album also includes a selection of Monteverdi's sacred vocal works, such as the "Dixit Dominus," "Confitebor tibi," and "Magnificat," each performed with the same level of skill and artistry.
The performances are led by Krijn Koetsveld and the ensemble Le Nuove Musiche, who bring a wealth of experience and expertise to these works. The album was recorded and mastered by Peter Arts, ensuring a high level of audio quality that does justice to Monteverdi's intricate compositions.
"Monteverdi: Messa et Salmi" is a tribute to the composer, compiled seven years after his death by the Venetian publisher Alessandro Vincenti and Francesco Cavalli, one of Monteverdi's students and successors. This album is a testament to Monteverdi's enduring influence and his status as one of the most important composers of the Baroque era. Whether you're a seasoned fan of Monteverdi's work or a newcomer to his music, this album offers a rich and rewarding listening experience.
