About
Venice was surely the capital of music and the arts in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, and one of the most coveted positions in the city was that of maestro di cappella at St Mark’s Basilica. A few lucky chosen candidates succeeded one another in bringing to life the musical splendour of the basilica, all of them fabulous musicians and composers prolonging the legacy of the great Claudio Monteverdi. For its third recording on Alpha, the ensemble Les Surprises has chosen to sail towards Venetian waters and mix with these geniuses of affect, word-setting and theatre, exploring music that ranges from grandiose double choruses to intimate duets or trios combining sacred and profane.

Awards and reviews
Nov/Dec 2023
Ensemble Les Surprises comprises eight performers, including the artistic director, who plays organ and harpsichord as needed. The brass players, critical participants in these works, crown themselves with glory, but everyone makes a good impression on this CD.
July 2023
This is a fun excuse for an entertaining mixture of Venetian church music interspersed with seven brief instrumental pieces mostly by composers who were employed in Cremona, Brescia and Mantua.
