Without doubt, Monteverdi was the greatest of the early baroque composers. He revolutionised the music of the theatre and the church with his dramatic and imaginative use of voices and instruments and with his daring harmonies and rhythms. Next to his Vespers of 1610, the Selva morale e spirituale of 1641 is his most significant and virtuosic collection of sacred music.
This boxed set, released to celebrate Monteverdi's 450th anniversary, includes all three volumes of The Sixteen's celebrated recordings of the anthology.
"There is in fact some very vigorous singing at times, sometimes a little too vigorous...The instrumental ensemble is excellent and there is some truly outstanding continuo colour throughout; David Miller's chitarrone in particular has much to do with this." (International Record Review on Vol 3)
"these are some of the most spirited and individual performances of this repertory available...the standard of solo singing is very good. The ad hoc instrumentalists provide sensitive, stylish support thoughout." Five Stars BBC Music Magazine on Vol 1
"Its light instrumental continuo support is well chosen...and the acoustics of St Silas the Martyr in Kentish Town seem to be absolutely right for this ravishing music." International Record Review on Vol 2
