Monteverdi: Messa a 4 voci - Ingegneri: Tenebrae factae sunt & Lamentations de Jérémie

Here is the very first album ever recorded by Michel Corboz for Erato, just a few months after he got to know the legendary producer Michel Garcin in a choral competition – a decisive encounter that would become one of the most fruitful collaborations in the history of early music. Michel Corboz devoted his debut album to a repertoire dear to his heart: the late Italian Renaissance. This album includes sacred a cappella works by cremonese composers Marc’Antonio Ingegneri (with a selection of his ethereal responsories intertwined with Gregorian pieces) and his most famous student Claudio Monteverdi, whose posthumous mass for four voices is a hidden gem and a testimony to his prima prattica, legacy of Palestrina and the Franco-Flemish school.
