Giaches de Wert: From Ghent via Naples to the Top

Palestrina and Monteverdi were fans. The Gonzagas and the d’Estes were his employers. And the Marchioness of Padulla was his Neapolitan patroness. Thanks to his talents, Giaches De Wert moved from the region around Ghent where he was born to work in some of the most important Italian centres of Renaissance polyphony. He developed into an international star. The Belgian vocal ensemble Utopia sings his motets and Missa dominicalis.
