La Fonte Musica / Michele Pasotti – Monteverdi: Selva Morale e Spirituale

Monteverdi's Selva morale e spirituale with La Fonte Musica conducted by Michele Pasotti. A highlight of Baroque sacred music, from intimate a cappella to rich instrumental works full of expression, contrast and Venetian splendor. Monteverdi's Selva morale e spirituale is a musical testament in which he brings together his sacred music at the end of his life. The collection reflects his years at San Marco in Venice and reveals the transition from Renaissance to Baroque in all its richness. From hushed a cappella moments to festive works with instrumental accompaniment, a musical world unfolds in which emotion, word and theatrical imagination converge, supported by a musical language full of contrast and movement. La Fonte Musica under the direction of Michele Pasotti brings this repertoire with historical refinement and striking vivid intensity. Their interpretations are clear, expressive and thoughtful in every detail. Thus Monteverdi sounds not like music from the past, but as music of now: intense, layered and surprisingly close.
