MONTEVERDI VESPERS [1610]

Hespèrion XXI
La Capella Reial de Catalunya
Jordi Savall Conductor
Monteverdi’s Vespers of 1610 is one of the greatest choral works ever written with virtuosic solo movements and magisterial choruses. It is a monumental work demanding musical and dramatic flair.
Jordi Savall is widely recognised as one of today’s foremost artists specialising in early music. His orchestra Hespèrion XXI and choir La Capella Reial de Catalunya combine high levels of instrumental and vocal virtuosity with a dynamic and bold performance style.
What the critics say:
‘early-music superstar...in the most self-effacing way, Jordi Savall comes close to being one.’
