Performance NotesBefore there was Bach’s Mass in B minor or Beethoven’s Missa solemnis there was Monteverdi’s Vespers, a choral masterpiece of unprecedented musical scope and audacious beauty.

The work’s textural extremes, multiple choirs and sonic effects are brought to life in a performance marking the 450th anniversary of the composer’s birth.

Award-winning French Baroque ensemble Pygmalion makes its Proms debut under its director Raphaël Pichon, together with an exciting line-up of young soloists.

There was no interval.
Proms and Royal Albert Hall debuts of all artists, orchestra and conductor.
