Review by Tamer Selim

The album Marienvesper Vespro Della Virgine Vespers 1610 by Claudio Monteverdi, Lautten Compagney, Wolfgang Katschner, Amarcord is a stunning tribute to the Baroque period. The album features a dynamic performance by the Lautten Compagney, led by Wolfgang Katschner, and the vocal ensemble Amarcord.

The album is a beautiful representation of Monteverdi's work, featuring a rich and diverse range of musical styles, from the grandeur of the opening "Deus in adiutorium" to the hauntingly beautiful "Nigra sum sed formosa." The vocal performances are particularly noteworthy, with Amarcord's clear and precise harmonies adding depth and emotion to Monteverdi's intricate compositions.

The album is a masterful blend of vocal and instrumental music, with the Lautten Compagney's expert musicianship providing a solid foundation for the vocal performances. The ensemble's use of period instruments, including the cornett and sackbut, adds to the authenticity of the recording and transports the listener back to the Baroque era.
