DEC 443482; DECCA - Inghilterra; Classica vocale Sacra Messe

ÍøÆغÚÁÏ.co.uk

One of the most grand and eloquent liturgical works ever written, Monteverdi's Vespers has enjoyed near-perpetual favour with performers and listeners since its composition in 1610. It may have been written for use as an "audition" piece for the position of maestro di cappella at the famed St. Mark's Cathedral in Venice. Whatever its motivation, this is a most ambitious and stylistically fascinating compendium that sets out the eight chants of the Mass Ordinary, interspersed with four motets and an instrumental piece. The 90-minute work includes soloists, chorus, and orchestra. Not until Bach would there be a religious work on this scale. Gardiner and his Monteverdi Choir adopt a decidedly "un-period" sound on this mid-1970s recording, with free vocal vibrato and a mix of modern and period instruments. This two-for-one disc set also includes motets by Monteverdi, Gabrieli, and Bassani. --David Vernier

    4.0 out of 5 stars Monteverdi Vespro della beata vergine
    Reviewed in France on 12 March 2017
    35 ans après, cette version n'a pas pris une ride. A la fois monumentale et intime, l'interprétation est une célébration. A Dieu, à la musique, à la vie, je ne sais, mais une célébration totale. Tout le monde chante avec ses tripes, son coeur, son âme, et l'ensemble est toujours aussi jubilatoire.
    Certes, on peut faire autrement, plus madrigalesque, plus chambriste, plus intellectuel, plus méditerranéen. Chacun choisir le chef en fonction de sa prédilection. Mais plus vivant, plus pulpeux, plus joyeux, on ne peut pas faire. Une très grande version.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Una preghiera bellissima
    Reviewed in Italy on 31 August 2013
    Non conoscevo questo Vespro di Monteverdi (un capolavoro) fino a quando, - era il maggio 2013, - ho avuto il privilegio di assistere ad una esecuzione "privata" dal vivo nella Basilica dei Frari a Venezia. Fu un`esecuzione seducente di cui ho voluto assicurarmi, per quanto possibile, il ricordo.

    Questo CD consente, per un prezzo nell`insieme alla portata di molte borse ed inferiore a quanto si spenda per altri supporti elettronici, di ritrovare, almeno in parte, ma ogni volta che lo si desideri, le sensazioni dell`esecuzione cantata. Ovviamente ascoltare un CD non é come essere nella musica dal vivo anche se magari disponete di un valido impianto stereo.

    Una pecca dell`edizione a cui i curatori dovrebbero essere invitati ad apportare rimedio è quella della mancanza nel CD del file in pdf del libretto con il testo delle parole così da poterlo eventualmente stampare (poichè il Vespro é tutto cantato in latino é opportuno poter seguire un testo scritto per comprenderne a fondo la poesia. Se non si chiedesse troppo sarebbe un bel regalo avere insieme alle parole anche un` edizione degli spartiti.)
