Pre-Order: InAlto * Monteverdi: Vespro Della Beata Vergine [New CD] Merry Christmas and a boldly asserted senseThe 1610 Vespers, composed at a pivotal moment in Claudio Monteverdi's life when he sought not only to establish his new musical language but also to obtain high placed employment, take on new significance here.
