About "Vespro della Beata Vergine, SV 206: II. Dixit Dominus (Psalm 109)" by Concerto Italiano
Monteverdi's 'Dixit Dominus' opens with a fanfare of voices, each psalm verse a pillar in a vast sonic cathedral. Concerto Italiano balances grandeur with intimate rhetoric, the music striding forward like a procession that knows its destination.
