Missa in Illo Tempore
Featuring world premiere recordings of three Monteverdi Motets! Of all Monteverdi s works, the Missa in illo tempore marks the most important link between the composer and the Franco-Flemish polyphonic tradition. It is presented here alongside motets by Giaches de Wert, maestro di cappella at the Mantuan court when the young Monteverdi was engaged there as a violinist. Also included are world premiere recordings of three recently-discovered Marian motets by Monteverdi, recorded in the splendid acoustic of the Basilica di Santa Barbara in Mantua.
