Monteverdi: Marienvesper 1610
) | Label: CARUS Catalog: CV83394 Format: CD amarcord; Lautten Compagney; KatschnerComposed by: Monteverdi, Claudio As with scarcely any other work of the 17th c., Claudio Monteverdi’s Vespers has found its way into today’s repertoire. Nevertheless, the Vespers still leaves open many questions. The present recording is based on the new edition by Carus, which takes up oft-discussed issues concerning scoring possibilities, performance practice, transpositions and liturgical unity and invites an individual musical approach to the challenges the Vespers presents. Two of Germany’s finest ensembles, the Lautten Compagney Berlin and amarcord, have accepted this challenge.  Price: $27.98 |
