Description:

Monteverdi Choir New Release! A Collection of Motets by Bruckner and Jesualdo! This is SDG's first new recording release in many years, a live recording made in October 2024 to celebrate the 60th anniversary of the Monteverdi Choir and Bruckner's 200th birthday. The extremely interesting program, which combines Bruckner's famous a capella motets with religious motets by Carlo Gesualdo (1566-1613), was also once a member of the Monteverdi Choir and founder and artistic director of the old music ensemble Solomon's Knot The program was performed at the former naval academies of Ely, Oxford, and Greenwich in England under the direction of Jonathan Sells, who was once a member of the Monteverdi Chorus and is also known as the founder and artistic director of the old music ensemble Solomon's Knot (this album includes a live performance from Greenwich), and vividly captures the anguished passion and joyous beauty of both composers two and a half centuries apart.
