To celebrate the 450th anniversary of the birth of Monteverdi, William Christie and Les Arts Florissants have produced a new version of the Selva morale e spirituale, a veritable summit in the history of western vocal music. Whilst Paul Agnew continues this season his exploration of the secular music of the Venetian master, William Christie is attached to showing all the depth, brilliance and modernity of the sacred side of Monteverdi’s work of which this Selva, published at the very end of his life, marks the completion. From this immense “moral and spiritual forest” which Les Arts Florissants recorded some of the jewels at the end of the 1980’s – a new anthology is to be proposed, made up of some of the major pieces of the collection which includes more than forty pieces.
