Can we call it a masterpiece of striking modernity? Published three years after <em>L&#8217;Orfeo<\/em> and written over a period of ten years, <em>Vespro della Beata Vergine<\/em> is an audacious medley of colours and styles, a testament to the genius of Monteverdi, who inspired the whole of Europe. Standing at the helm of his ensembles, Cappella Mediterranea and the Ch\u0153ur de chambre de Namur, Leonardo Garc\u00eda Alarc\u00f3n infuses the work with a rare vitality, evoking emotions that are both intense and tender with much fervour and grace. He underscores the work&#8217;s brilliance and daring, all while respecting the liturgy of these 1610 <em>Vespers<\/em>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-bottom

works that remain aloof and sublime, their mystery only revealed through genius or cunning. But there are also exceptional performers and ensembles who know how to approach these masterpieces with delicacy and humility. Just like a beautiful ray of sunlight can cast aside shadows and reveal the unexpected beauty of a facade that you have seen a thousand times or bring a statue to life, monumental music needs light to reveal its wonder. Monteverdi&#8217;s Vespro della Beata Vergine stands out as a universal cathedral among the musical monuments of the Baroque era. Composed at the very beginning of the Counter-Reformation, this liturgical score revolutionised approaches to ritual music. Ten years after Giordano Bruno was burnt at the stake, Monteverdi&#8217;s music embraced his universalist theories, infinite not only in its praise, but also in its conditions, as if the divine has penetrated every fibre of life. From the deep sensuality of the psalms and canticles to the mysteries of the medieval-like polyphony, each song becomes a theatre and every heart is transformed into a temple. It is not flagellation, but an adoration of divine creation. Monteverdi subtly turns his back on Palestrina\u2019s sobriety, Allegri\u2019s aloofness and Gabrielli\u2019s strange harmonies, instead embracing the new Baroque spirit in his score. The madrigal brims with it, providing us with a passionate vision.<\/p>\n<p>This is clearly what Leonardo Garc\u00eda Alarc\u00f3n has brought us in this new production of the Vespers. This double album, which was recorded live at the Abbatiale d\u2019Ambronay during the 34th Festival d\u2019Ambronay, allows us to reclaim this Baroque masterpiece. The revival is in fact a rediscovery. Leonardo Garc\u00eda Alarc\u00f3n and his Cappella Mediterranea have grown accustomed to finding new sounds and unexpected details in every score. Garcia Alarc\u00f3n not only knows how to surround himself with an incredible musical team; he also knows how to vary intensity and create an atmosphere so that these Vespers can attain their full collective scope and transmit a message that is far more sacred than mere praise for the living. The Argentine conductor draws on his in-depth knowledge of Baroque style to create astounding colours, which he applies to each note like a canvas. Once again, we must congratulate him on his commitment and the variety of shades he reveals, much to our delight \u2013 and, no doubt, that of the work itself.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.musebaroque.fr\/monteverdi-vespro-cappella-mediterranea-ambronay\/\">_ Pedro-Octavio Diaz, Muse Baroque<\/a><\/p>\n<\/p>\n    <\/section>\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-28f84493 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:100%\">\n\n<section class=\"container partenaires-telechargements no-file\">\n\n    <div class=\"partenaires\">\n        <h3>Our partners<\/h3>\n        <div class=\"partenaires_content\">\n                            <div class=\"partenaire_item\" data-call-modal=\"pref-region-auvergne-rhone-alpes-cmjn-20200902092534-square-2\">\n                    <img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"480\" height=\"480\" src=\"https:\/\/cappellamediterranea.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/PREF-region-Auvergne-Rhone-Alpes-CMJN-20200902092534-square-e1686300701775.jpeg\" alt=\"\">\n                <\/div>\n\n                <div class=\"modal\" style=\"visibility: hidden;\" data-modal=\"pref-region-auvergne-rhone-alpes-cmjn-20200902092534-square-2\">\n                    <div class=\"content-modal col1\">\n                        <img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"480\" height=\"480\" src=\"https:\/\/cappellamediterranea.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/PREF-region-Auvergne-Rhone-Alpes-CMJN-20200902092534-square-e1686300701775.jpeg\" alt=\"\" title=\"PREF-region-Auvergne-Rhone-Alpes-CMJN-20200902092534-square\" >\n                        <p>Cappella Mediterranea is supported by La R\u00e9gion Auvergne Rh\u00f4ne Alpes.<\/p>\n                        <span class=\"icon-close\"><\/span>\n                    <\/div>\n                <\/div>\n\n                            <div class=\"partenaire_item\" data-call-modal=\"scpp-2\">\n                    <img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/cappellamediterranea.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/scpp-e1687167552610.jpeg\" alt=\"\">\n                <\/div>\n\n                <div class=\"modal\" style=\"visibility: hidden;\" data-modal=\"scpp-2\">\n                    <div class=\"content-modal col1\">\n                        <img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/cappellamediterranea.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/scpp-e1687167552610.jpeg\" alt=\"\" title=\"scpp\" >\n                        <p>This disc was produced with the support of the SCPP.<\/p>\n                        <span class=\"icon-close\"><\/span>\n                    <\/div>\n                <\/div>\n\n                            <div class=\"partenaire_item\" data-call-modal=\"ain-2\">\n                    <img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"224\" height=\"224\" src=\"https:\/\/cappellamediterranea.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/AIN-e1688041922808.jpeg\" alt=\"\">\n                <\/div>\n\n                <div class=\"modal\" style=\"visibility: hidden;\" data-modal=\"ain-2\">\n                    <div class=\"content-modal col1\">\n                        <img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"224\" height=\"224\" src=\"https:\/\/cappellamediterranea.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/AIN-e1688041922808.jpeg\" alt=\"\" title=\"AIN\" >\n                        <p>The Cappella Mediterranea ensemble is supported by the Conseil G\u00e9n\u00e9ral de l\u2019Ain.<\/p>\n                        <span class=\"icon-close\"><\/span>\n                    <\/div>\n                <\/div>\n\n                    <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n    <\/section><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Vespro della Beata Vergine is an audacious medley of colours and styles, a testament to the genius of Monteverdi, who inspired the whole of Europe.
