A lively vocal and instrumental ensemble celebrates 1605 - a vintage year for Italian music. It saw the birth in Rome of Carissimi, now credited as the inventor of the oratorio. Jonas is one of his most famous - full of glorious music, and an absolute whale of a story!
Meanwhile, in Mantua in 1605, Monteverdi was at the peak of his powers, producing his impassioned fifth book of madrigals.
