Voces8 - Marcello - Psalms on CD

Description

VOCES8 and Les Inventions shine light on a hidden musical treasure in these world-premiere recordings of Charles Avison s 1757 adaptation of Benedetto Marcello s 'Estro-poetico armonico'. A fresh and original collection, Marcello s Psalm settings were composed in Venice and quickly found fame across Europe after their publication between 1724 and 1726. 'wholly delightful and absorbing, and the intimate forces of Voces8 and Les Inventions are completely at home in this repertoire.'
