Vespro della Beata Vergine - Stadsklooper Utrecht
Claudio Monteverdi (1567 - 1643) wrote his masterly Marian Vespers (Vespro della Beata Vergine) in 1610 and dedicated this work to Pope Paul V. The Vespers eventually earned him the post of Maestro di Capella at St Mark's in Venice. The work is a magnificent rhythmic challenge, but passionate, moving and masterly. The Mariavespers workshop was created in cooperation between the Pieterskerkconcerten Foundation and the Passieprojeten Foundation.
