ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON THIS PERFORMANCE

The “Vespro di Natale” has become a permanent fixture in the repertoire of the ensemble La Cetras and its artistic director Andrea Marcon in recent years. The festive program conceived by Marcon has been performed repeatedly and released as an album by Deutsche Grammophon. The event presents Advent and Christmas music by Claudio Monteverdi and his contemporaries such as Giovanni Gabrieli, and takes the audience back to the golden age of church music in early-century Venice. This atmospheric performance, recorded in early December in Basel’s beautiful St. Martin’s Church, is a perfect musical menu for the Christmas season.
