A semester project like this with Monteverdi's Vespers can give the students involved deep insights into a style and its performance practice under expert direction - a benefit for life. As an audience, we also benefit from hearing and enjoying the committed music-making of young voices and virtuoso young instrumentalists. Monteverdi's Vespers rightly retains its status as a masterpiece beyond all changes in taste: the then Kapellmeister at the court in Mantua brilliantly brought together Renaissance polyphony and operatic gestures, splendour of sound and moments of the greatest internalization.
