Claudio Monteverdi Laudate Dominum (Terzo) / Confitebor tibi Domine (Primo) / O ciechi ciechi / Jubilate / Messa à 4 da cappella / Deus tuorum militum (Secondo) / Sanctorum meritis (Primo) / Crucifixus / Laudate Dominum / Et iterum / Ab aeterno ordinata sum / Dixit Dominus (Primo)

Without doubt, Monteverdi was the greatest of the early baroque European composers. He revolutionised the music of the theatre and the church by his dramatic and imaginative use of voices and instruments and by his daring harmonies and rhythms. Next to his Vespers of 1610, the Selva morale e spirituale of 1641 is his most significant and virtuosic collection of sacred music. This second volume of The Sixteen’s celebrated series includes the Messa à 4 da cappella.
