Here are the Monteverdi Vespers as you’ve never heard them before! ‘I see these Vespers as a great incantatory ritual that connects the sacred with the pagan, the intimate with the collective. I experienced this powerful sensation many times in my childhood, in the choir of an abbey: the intense, warm light of a late summer day, filtering in from the west and reflected all the way up to the choir’, says Simon-Pierre Bestion. The founder of La Tempête
has made very personal choices for this recording, notably concerning the composition of the orchestra, which he has enriched with instruments from different cultures, including the serpent and the chitarrone. He has added ‘fauxbourdons’, simple improvised chants deriving from folk tradition. The colours of the voices in these Vespers are also very unusual: Bestion follows in the tradition of oral polyphony as it still exists in Corsica, Sardinia and Georgia.

Finding its sap in the spiritual and emotional intensity of this true sacred opera dedicated to the Virgin Mary, the interpretation of The Tempest plunges the listener into the center of a powerful sound material. Despite an assuredly vocal dominance, the orchestra, with its rich and abundant timbres, offers a jubilant sound experience to live and hear: a tribute to Venetian polychorality.

Trouvant sa sève dans l’intensité spirituelle et émotionnelle de ce véritable opéra sacré dédié à la Vierge Marie, l’interprétation de La Tempête plonge l’auditeur au centre d’une puissante matière sonore. Malgré une dominante assurément vocale, l’orchestre, aux timbres riches et foisonnants, donne à vivre et à entendre une expérience sonore jubilatoire : hommage à la polychoralité vénitienne.
