Digital Booklet

"The Sixteen has a directness and a muscularity in approach that are very appealing ... Christophers shapes every phrase beautifully and is always alive to Monteverdi's rhetoric ... gives a sense of how shockingly modern Monteverdi's Vespers must have seemed to those used to Palestrina and the like. For a work with which we are now so familiar, that is no small achievement."
- International Record Review
The Sixteen and Harry Christophers release a work often classed as one of the most significant collections of sacred music ever written: Monteverdi's Vespers of 1610. The music is grand in conception and structure, where revolutionary secular techniques such as recitar cantando are brought to the church platform with stunning effect.
"Its variety alone makes it unique ... thrilling psalm settings with virtuosic writing for both multipart choir and instrumentalists to exotic and sensual settings of texts from the Song of Songs for solo voices. Every movement is full of luscious harmonies, drama and an evocative musical language which is so beautifully constructed for all concerned."
- Harry Christophers
