Robert HollingworthAbout
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’.
The release coincides 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.
The works on this album are treated as an authentic Vespers setting, with antiphons, collects and other short excerpts between each work.
