Album Notes & Community Reviews
This monumental 1989 recording, conducted by John Eliot Gardiner with the Monteverdi Choir, brings staggering clarity and dramatic power to the 1610 masterpiece. Bridging the polyphonic traditions of the Renaissance with the expressive solo styles of the emerging Baroque era, the Vespers are rendered with stunning historical authenticity. The breathtaking acoustic space of St. Mark's in Venice enhances the profoundly triumphant and religious atmosphere.
