In their Lammermuir Festival debut, I Fagiolini strike spiritual and musical gold with the Monteverdi Vespers... at least in the first half.

I Fagiolini and the English Cornett and Sackbut Ensemble give a very special performance at Kings Place. 

An outstanding performance from Christina Pluhar's army of generals, but a flawed Barbican live stream. 

Jean Tubéry’s virtuosity as a maestro di cornetto made up for disappointing vocalism in Monteverdi’s Vesperis in Festis Beata Mariae Vergine

Sublime orchestral playing and stellar soloists don't quite make up for a lacklustre performance by the Academy's choir in Monteverdi's moving work

Engaging, passionate and life-afirming: Harry Christophers' group The Sixteen give a memorable rendition of Monteverdi's Vespers 1610

The Sixteen's tour of Monteverdi's Vespers nears completion with an absorbing rendition at Guildford Cathedral. 

The four-year old Green Mountain Project have made somewhat of a specialty of Monteverdi's Vespers, and their recent performance at New York city’s Church of St Jean Baptiste proved again that they are worthy of their chosen name.

Monteverdi’s Vespro della Beata Vergine, Durham Cathedral and Sir John Eliot Gardiner – a glorious combination of music and architecture, in the hands of a man who made his name bringing the Vespers out of obscurity and into their well-deserved place in the concert repertoire.
