James McMunn Tenor Monteverdi's Vespers, composed and published in 1610, constitute an indisputably major landmark in musical history. Combining solemnity, theatricality and virtuosity, all put together with masterful resourcefulness and craftsmanship, their 'red-letter' anniversary is celebrated here by the Armonico Consort and The English Cornett and Sackbut Ensemble in a candlelit Cathedral. 'Superb' The Times 'With the perfectly formed Consort, it was an evening to savour' Emma Kirkby Sponsored by SMART FUTURES
