Amazing pieces of classical music - 5
Claudio Monteverdi's spiritual Vespro della Beata Vergine (or his 1610 Vespers) performed by the Concentus Musicus Wien (directed by Nikolaus Harnoncourt) with the Choralschola Der Capella Antiqua München (directed by Konrad Ruhland), the Soloists of the Vienna Boys' Choir and a somewhat stern but wise Hamburg Monteverdi Choir, all conducted by Jürgen Jürgens in 1967, and after the work of assembling the music done by Wolfgang Osthoff. This was not only the first "authentic instruments" performance of the piece, interspersed with liturgical chants, but also the tenor Nigel Rogers brought the sounds together so beautifully. Has anyone actually ever heard high voices sound more angelic?
