Recording of the Week, I Fagiolini perform Monteverdi's "Other" Vespers

28th April 2017

David listens to I Fagiolini and the English Cornett and Sackbut Ensemble's latest thrilling excursion into the world of Monteverdi.

Celebrating Monteverdi’s 450th anniversary - a key new release in this Monteverdi year.

Forming a response to Monteverdi’s timeless masterpiece Vespro della Beata Vergine (1610), these Other Vespers are centred around works from the end of his life, in 1640 following 23 years as maestro at St. Mark’s Venice. Including the celebrated Beatus vir.

A truly Venetian Vespers, arranged in a setting that could have been performed in Venice in Monteverdi’s time, with his sacred choral works alongside music of his contemporaries.

Culminating in Giovanni Gabrieli's powerful and moving Magnificat in 14 parts: for three separate 'choirs'.

To coincide with I Fagiolini's 30th anniversary: the ensemble has always enjoyed a close association with Monteverdi.

Robert Hollingworth is a Monteverdi specialist; this is an authentic take on the repertoire, including the incredible soundworld of the cornetto muto alongside four male voices of I Fagiolini, in the Palestrina/Bovicelli Ave verum corpus - the first recording of such a reconstruction.

Reviews

September 2017

This is a glorious addition to the Monteverdi 450 celebrations.

July 2017

There is plenty of warmth and animation in the superb music-making. I Fagiolini’s consort and solo singing are exemplary...In such sure hands (and throats) as these, Monteverdi’s psalm-settings reach their fullest capacity to enchant and astonish.

28th April 2017

The word that always springs to mind when I listen to this kind of Venetian music, be it Gabrieli or Monteverdi or any of their contemporaries, is ‘magnificent’, and this album amply demonstrates why. Hollingworth and his musicians perfectly capture, as they have so many times before, the simultaneously solemn yet joyful spirit of the music, and once again I find myself transported by their performances to the glorious acoustic and surroundings of San Marco.

13th August 2017

Nothing here is more haunting than Palestrina’s Ave verum corpus (1561), with its solo cornett descant added by Giovanni Battista Bovicelli (1594). A ravishing disc

7th May 2017

a rich compilation...all the performances under Robert Hollingworth using professional and younger voices are gently moulded, resonantly beautiful: a noble celebration.

12th May 2017

The performances are exhilarating, especially the accelerandos.
