Monteverdi’s Vespers of 1610
Immerse yourself in the complete Vespers of 1610 with our special edition performance, which brings together Fiori Musicali’s 2011 live recording of soloists and period instruments Christ Church Oxford, directed by Penelope Rapson, and the global voices of Choir of the Earth, as directed by Ben England BEM.
This transcendent production features over 8,000 individual vocal tracks, meticulously mixed in the recording studio with Fiori’s original performance by our specialist audio engineers, creating a powerful, enhanced choral experience.
Penelope Rapson, Director of Fiori Musicali, shared her thoughts on the final result:
"I was so intrigued by the concept of this project and by the passion of the Choir of the Earth team. The final product, given everything that went into it, is one of the most unique performances of Monteverdi I’ve heard."
