Alessandra Rossi Lürig (Dir) // Alessandro Grandi, regarded by scholars as "the greatest motet composer of his time", was a prominent figure of the new Venetian style in the first half of the seventeenth century. An extremely precocious talent, he was considered by his contemporaries equal to Claudio Monteverdi, to whom he was appointed deputy in 1627 in Saint Mark's Basilica. Yet our knowledge of his life and musical output is scanty, and thus he has remained mostly undiscovered.
