Václav Luks leads Collegium 1704 and Collegium Vocale 1704 in Claudio Monteverdi’s masterful Vespers for the Blessed Virgin, a work that represents a synthesis of the best and most sophisticated that the history of music has ever produced. Tonight’s program was recorded live in concert on November 10, 2023 in Dvořák Hall in the Rudolfinum in Prague, Czechia.

Thanks to WFMT’s association with the European Broadcasting Union, we’re able to offer this program as a stream for thirty days following the broadcast. A blue “Listen” button will be visible while the stream is acessible.
