About
When Cavalli published the 'Musiche sacre' in 1656 he was at the height of his creative powers and at the apex of his career. As with both Monteverdi’s 1610 collection and his 'Selva morale' of 1640, Cavalli’s 'Musiche sacre' contains components which can be used to fulfil the liturgical requirements of a wide range of feast days.
On this recording, Glossa present the principle musical items which could have been heard at second Vespers on a feast of the Virgin Mary (in this case the Feast of the Assumption) either at St Mark’s or at one of a variety of other Venetian churches. It is no more and no less a single unified musical “work” than are Monteverdi’s 1610 'Vespro della Beata Vergine', nor can it be, since the liturgy has its own formal requirements extending far beyond the music.
An expert group of vocal soloists join the instrumentalists of Concerto Palatino in this landmark recording made in the mid nineties, which Glossa is now proud to recover for its Schola Cantorum Basiliensis series.
