About

There are many recordings of Monteverdi’s Vespers of the Blessed Virgin, but the unique thing about this recording is that it was produced following the performances of a scenic interpretation with the Spanish stage director Calixto Bieito. What now follows is a musical exploration forming a sequel to scenic occupation with the Vespers. Since 2017 Il Gusto Barocco has been the guest ensemble for the four-part Monteverdi cycle initiated by opera director Albrecht Puhlmann at the Mannheim National Theater. From the musician’s perspective, the scenic exploration of music rooted in the liturgy clearly differs from a performance during a religious service or a non-scenic concert performance. During the time-intensive process prior to the staging of an opera, scenes, images, and figures gradually take shape. In each stage figure the quest is for an emotional truth from which her or his artistic nature, aesthetic character, and credibility result – and ultimately word and tone, to produce empathy and engage the public. Another important aspect of this recording is the great number of diminutions in all the instrumental and vocal parts, all of which were improvised. During the shared scenic preparation for the opera stage, the individual movements of the Marian Vespers obtained a definite emotional space in the dramaturgical sequence. Accordingly, sections and their basic characters were defined and invented for each performance and for this recording.

For collectors who already have a variety of interpretations, this disc will introduce them to a new generation of Baroque artists worthy of comparison with the best in their collections. For newcomers to the repertoire who need to fill an empty slot in their collections, this disc rates a strong recommendation for the use of the original edition, the seating of the performers in the church, and the quality of all the artists.
