Monteverdi: Vespers (mccreesh)

A magnificent recording of Monteverdi's Vespers is now released, performed by Gabrieli Consort & Players under the musical direction of Paul McCreesh. McCreesh offers an opulent version of the baroque masterpiece with an extraordinary cast of baroque specialists. A must for every friend of early music! Reviews M.Hengelbrock in FonoForum 01/07: "The comparison with John Eliot Gardiner, whose second recording of the "Marienvesper" has also been released by the Archiv-Produktion is not only philological and technical, but also musical technical, but also for musical reasons reasons, but also for musical ones, it is clearly in favour of McCreesh McCreesh's soloists and ensembles seem less trained and bring more color to the performance."
