Here you will find three versions of Monteverdi's Vespro della Beata Vergine, other works by his contemporaries and by Monteverdi himself, and another Vespro della Beata Vergine, but this one reconstructed using the music of Alessandro Grandi. Furthermore, there is yet another reconstructed Vespers based on the music of those two composers, plus music by Rigatti and Cavalli.
Where exactly the disc of d'Astogra & Boccherini should go is debatable, since the former is clearly a baroque composer, the latter classical. Galuppi was a transitional figure moving towards the new classical style, but the Confitebor tibi Domine was composed in 1741, which falls within the somewhat arbitrary bounds of the baroque period.
