Digital Booklet

"... a shimmering, captivating choral sound that seems to float effortlessly through the psalms."
- The Independent
"... the Choir of the Enlightenment sings with the light freshness and clarity which have now come to be firmly associated with Baroque performances."
- Classic FM
"What is impressive is the grammatical sense (underpinned by flexible accentuation) that the choir brings to the projection of the words in Dixit Dominus and at many other places. Also, as we might expect, the instrumentalists are terrific."
- BBC Music Magazine
The Orchestra of the Age of the Enlightenment is one of the world’s leading period instrument ensembles. Led by Robert Howarth, this live recording was made in August of 2010 at Kings Place, London following the orchestra's successful tour marking the 400th anniversary of the publication of the work.
"For me, Monteverdi’s music enhances the text beautifully. It doesn’t matter whether one is religious or not, this music touches the human soul and reflects, sincerely and passionately the true meaning of the texts in the psalms and motets … You don’t need to know what’s being sung to hear that this is a masterpiece. However, it was Monteverdi’s intention to show you his thoughts on the texts and I think it is that intention that drives this music."
- Robert Howarth
