    Featured Album November 2023: Pygmalion "Monteverdi: Vespro della Beata Vergine"

    Another new release for this month's featured album: during November we're delighted to introduce the new recording of Monteverdi's iconic Vespro della Beata Vergine (Vespers of the Blessed Virgin) by Pygmalion under the direction of Raphael Pichon. This cornerstone of early 17th Century repertoire, dated 1610, has been committed to disc many times over the years, but this new recording is of exceptional quality and the experience and passion driven from Pichon's baton makes it a must-listen. Housed in a deluxe 2CD box set with an extensive 76-page booklet, this is a deserved featured album!
