| The Monteverdi Choir
and English Baroque Soloists: His Majesty's Sackbutts and
Cornetts |
|
 |
Saturday
2nd October: Performance of Monteverdi Vespers
of 1610. The Vespers of 1610 is a monumental work in
the history of Western music. Monteverdi’s spectacular
writing for choir and orchestra, with colourful use of
sackbutts, cornetts, theorbo and soloists is as spell-binding
today as for the work’s first audiences. It will no doubt
have many anniversary performances, but Sir John Eliot
Gardiner’s return to the work with which the Monteverdi
Choir’s unparalleled career began, is surely the one
to catch. Music at Oxford is privileged to join forces
with Wadham College, who celebrating its 400th anniversary,
to bring one of the most enduringly magnificent works
of the seventeenth century to Oxford.
Performance 7.30pm.
