Le Nuove Musiche - Monteverdi - Selva Morale e Spirituale (2022) [Official Digital Download 24/96]

Selva morale e spirituale was Claudio Monteverdi's (1567-1643) most extensive and important anthology of liturgical works since the Vespers of 1610. The collection of various works in different settings was published in Venice in 1640 and 1641. The Selva morale e spirituale (literally, "Moral and Spiritual Forest") contains works composed at San Marco in Venice, where Monteverdi had been active since 1613. It contains various forms of sacred music, from madrigals in Italian to a complete mass, with scoring varying from a single voice to eight voices with instruments: Moral Madrigals on Italian poems, the Messa à 4 da capella set in stile antico (old style) for four voices and basso continuo, and the seven-part Gloria à 7 in stile concertato. The most extensive are the psalm compositions, especially those regularly used for a vesper service, such as Dixit Dominus, Confitebor tibi, Domine (Psalm 111), Beatus Vir (Psalm 112), Laudate pueri Dominum (Psalm 113), and Laudate Dominum (Psalm 117), most of them in various settings. The collection also includes settings of Marian hymns such as the Magnificat and the Salve Regina. With this new recording, Le Nuove Musiche, under the direction of Krijn Koetsveld, presents a new highlight of their Monteverdi pilgrimage, the planned complete recording of Monteverdi's works. Their recording of the complete madrigals received outstanding reviews in the international press: "5 stars" (Volkskrant), "A polished, balanced sound…musical and intelligent throughout" (Early Music), "Another compelling edition…excellent throughout" (Klassik. com), "Performance: 10th …an incredibly beautiful, excellent recording…" (Dutch magazine Luister). "Le Nuove Musiche easily stands comparison with most of the renowned ensembles in this particular repertoire. We hear it all: great vocal talent, strong imagination, pure textual fidelity and diction, sharp articulation in addition to smooth phrasing, the always rhythmic rhythm with its distinctive entries, and that perfect sense of balance." (Opus).
