Academy of Ancient Music: Monteverdi and Castello

Sopranos Carolyn Samspson and Rowan Pierce and the Academy of Ancient Music under Richard Egarr perform 17th-century Venetian sacred and secular music by Monteverdi and Castello.

Richard Egarr directs the Academy of Ancient Music and leading sopranos Carolyn Samspson and Rowan Pierce in a delightful programme of seventeenth-century Venetian sacred and secular vocal and instrumental music. The sensuous sacred motets and psalm settings of Claudio Monteverdi are paired with the quirky instrumental sonatas of his colleague and contemporary at St Mark's, Dario Castello.

Recorded last week at West Road Concert Hall, Cambridge, and presented by Verity Sharp.
