Twenty years since the release of their pioneering recording, A Venetian Coronation 1595, join the ensemble for a musical re-creation evoking the grand pageantry of the Coronation Mass for Venetian Doge Marino Grimani, whose love of ceremony fuelled an extraordinary musical bounty during his reign.
