I was unfamiliar with that recording of the Monteverdi Vespers but there is a clip on YouTube of the trio you mention, if you search "Monteverdi: Vespro della Beata Vergine - Duo seraphim a 3" - and it is indeed lovely.
Thank you for your review of Ian Partridge's CD.
My most indispensable Ian Partridge CD, however, is his contribution to Schneidt's Monteverdi Vespers. Not only is this, in my considered opinion, the finest Vespers, but Partridge and John Elwes's Duo Seraphim, for example, is one of my favourite things on disk, ever. I have an Ultimate playlist, and that's on it.
Thank you.
