Monteverdi, Vespro della beata Vergine (1610)

Monteverdi’s startlingly modern Vespro della Beata Vergine, trail-blazed a musical aesthetic that was to inspire 17^th century Europe. Leonardo García Alarcón invites us to take a provocative, emotionally charged journey through the caravanserais, the pastures and rainbows, of its ever-personal, many-nuanced world.

This casket was recorded in Ambronay to celebrate the opening of the Festival 2013.
