Celebrating Monteverdi’s 450th anniversary, the Academy of Ancient Music and Choir of the AAM perform his magnificent Vespers, joined by a roster of brilliant soloists.
Monteverdi’s Vespers of 1610 are some of the most elaborate calling cards ever created: sublime, uplifting choral music at its best. With soaring vocals from the Choir of the AAM and soprano Rowan Pierce and tenor Charles Daniels, this performance is sure to do them justice.
At the time Monteverdi composed these Vespers, he was highly regarded as a secular composer, but yearned for a role at the papal court. Although he never quite managed to work for a Pope, he happily spent his last years at the Doge’s court in Venice.
