For their version, Marco Mencoboni and his 50-strong Cantar Lontano began with a surviving copy of the original published edition Mencoboni details some of their resulting performing decisions in his sleeve notes. Plainsong antiphons punctuate the whole sequence of set pieces and, to enhance the authenticity further, the performance took place in 2009 in the basilica of the ducal court in Mantua, where Monteverdi was employed when he published the Vespers the very space, presumably, that he composed much of this joyously antiphonal music for. -- Andrew McGregor The Guardian, 19th January 2017
