Dixit Dominus from Monteverdi's Vespro Della Beata Vergine

From the 2006 recording of Monteverdi's Vespers of 1610 by the Gabrieli Consort and Players, conducted by Paul McCreesh. This is by far the best interpretation of this achingly beautiful work I've encountered.

In the interest of an accurate period reconstruction, Paul McCreesh had two violins specially made for this recording. He talks about the project here www.themonteverdiviolins.org/
