Monteverdi Vespers

The Sixteen choir & orchestra

Harry Christophers conductor

"Quite simply one of the greatest pieces of sacred music ever written, mixing profound expression with unfailing musical beauty."  Harry Christophers describes the dazzling masterpiece which landed Claudio Monteverdi the job of maestro di cappella at St Mark's Basilica in Venice in 1613. Unparalleled in scale and opulence, this extraordinary work shares the same dedication as Temple Church: The Blessed Virgin Mary. And the ancient church is sure to add an acoustic halo, just as St Mark's did when the work was heard there 400 years ago.

_{Duration: approximately 1 hour 50 minutes (including interval)}
