Claudio Monteverdi: Vespro della Beata Vergine (Evening Prayers for the Blessed Virgin) (“Vespers of 1610â€)
Like the Testaments, both Old and New, from which 13 sections are taken, Claudio Monteverdi’s Vespers , published in 1610, are sensual, exciting, reverent, graceful, poetic and, in the best sense of the word, hallowed.
