Dunedins selected in Stereophile's '2009 Records To Die For'
"This performance...grips you by the ears."
We always thought maybe we were just biased when we said that Dunedin Consort's recording of the Monteverdi Vespers was the best around, but now we have received official confirmation that this is true!
BBC Music Magazine paid an aural visit to late-Renaissance Italy to find the best recordings of this spectacular masterpiece and named Dunedin Consort's the 'Best Recording' in the Building A Library series.
"This is one of those rare recordings, impressive at first blush, that reveals more with every hearing...this Vespers transcends historically informed performance practice to touch the spiritual core of Monteverdi's masterwork." BBC Music Magazine
