About

Monteverdi’s sacred vocal compositions introduced the expression of powerful and personal emotions to the world of church music. Whilst it took him a number of years to find fulfilment in his work, Monteverdi was a revered composer within his lifetime and his music is regarded as revolutionary, marking the change from the Renaissance style to that of the Baroque. This album comprises some of the finest works from Monteverdi’s years as director of music at St Mark’s in Venice, published posthumously in 1650 as the Messa a quattro voci et salmi.

‘Pure - and vintage - Monteverdi, starting with a Dixit Dominus and ending, grandly with a version of Beatus Vir,
using material we know from the familiar one. Ideal consort singing.’ 
– The Sunday Times, Culture Magazine

‘As always with The Sixteen, we get superb tuning, balanced ensemble work and a lively pace.’ – BBC Music Magazine
