SUMMARY:Monteverdi's Vespers of 1610 (Pacific Baroque Orchestra)
DESCRIPTION:The Victoria Symphony presents the Pacific Baroque Orchestra’s production of Monteverdi’s Vespers.\nClaudio Monteverdi’s Vespers of 1610 is an undisputed masterpiece of spiritual and emotional depth\, at times intimate and reverent\, grand and dramatic\, thrilling and sensual. Brilliant instrumental writing paired with impressive choruses and solos create an opulent tribute to the Virgin Mary\, a testament to Monteverdi’s attention to the expressive power of music. \nIn this performance of this rarely-performed work\, Alexander Weimann leads ten international soloists and a collection of 17th-century instrumentalists\, including the peerless Bruce Dickey on cornetto.
