Released on September 2, 2022, under Warner Classics, this extraordinary collection offers a profound exploration of Monteverdi's religious and operatic masterpieces.
Spanning an impressive three hours and thirty-four minutes, this album is a testament to Monteverdi's unparalleled contributions to the classical and opera genres. It features a diverse array of compositions, including sacred masses, psalms, and motets, each showcasing Monteverdi's innovative use of polyphony and expressive harmonies.
