With the “Vespro della Beata Vergine,” Claudio Monteverdi created one of the most significant sacred works in the history of music. His Marian Vespers blend the soundscape of the Renaissance with the new forms of expression of the early Baroque and continue to impress to this day with their musical diversity and sonic splendor.
