About

The Claudio Monteverdi Choir of Crema was founded in 1986 by Bruno Gini; its members, for the most part, are young musicians. In April 2007, the choir was invited to sing at Canterbury Cathedral.

Cavalli is an early-Baroque master who provides an operatic link between Monteverdi and Handel. The Magnificat is the canticle sung by the Virgin Mary during her visit to Elizabeth (Luke 1, 46-55) and has been set, in different styles, by many composers. Cavalli uses this canticle in five different compositions:
- Magnificat a sei voci
- Magnificat of the Vespro della Beata Vergine
- Magnificat of the Vespro delle Domeniche (1675)
- Magnificat of the Vespro delli Cinque Laudate
- Magnificat of the Musiche sacre

The CD is completed by two vocal Mottetti and two Canzoni for ten and twelve instruments, again from the collection of Musiche sacre of 1656 and wholly attributable to the Venetian tradition of double choirs.

This is the first complete recording of the Magnificat.
