Huelgas Ensemble, Paul van Nevel
An exact contemporary of Monteverdi (they were born and died in the same years), the Bohemian Christophorus Demantius was a prodigiously inventive composer. Like Gesualdo, he explored new musical avenues with extraordinary ingenuity while remaining attached to the polyphonic style of the Renaissance. In this respect these highly festive ‘Whitsun Vespers' are something of a sumptuous transition from the ‘old' counterpoint of Lassus and Praetorius to the imminent innovations of Schein and Schütz.
