SDG 736

Recorded live in concert in October 2024, this release marks the Monteverdi Choir’s 60th birthday and the 200th anniversary of Bruckner’s birth with an album that combines his celebrated a cappella motets with the sacred motets of Carlo Gesualdo (1566 – 1613).

Performed in 2024 by the Monteverdi Choir in Ely, Oxford and the Old Royal Naval College in Greenwich under conductor Jonathan Sells, the album brings alive the tormented passion of both composers’ music.
