[coltranerj]

me recuerda a algo este tema pero no se que es , creo que era algo del ejercito pero no se cual ni por que , vueno da igual , esta musica mola

[javierqatar]

While being a very good performance, I find Savall's much better. It can be checked out on youtube as well...

[Deesade86]

Good music!

Hello, who is performing this piece?

[ashwayne]

where is the opening sculpture?

[schwarzroterose]

@ashwayne It is a relief "Orpheus and Eurydice" of the sculptor Arno Breker and is found in the Arno Breker Museum in Germany near Köln

From another upload I've learned that this wasn't considered a part of the actual opera, but was instead intended as a call to attention for the audience, to let them know that the show was about to start. Which makes it no less great, of course.

This is a very exciting performance! I have always loved this part of Orfeo! Thanks!

@truffaldinno I generally don't correct typos, but if someone's looking for Johannes Nicolaus Graf de la Fontaine und d'Harnoncourt-Unverzagt, aka Nikolaus Harnoncourt he'll find more easily.

@ChrisC2I ou plutôt "graf" de La Fontaine (comte de La Fontaine)

Poor comments comparing that with jews art us-crap...

[MaBu888]

Monteverdi was just as famous as metal during his time, in the 16-17th centuries.

Great version of this Toccata by Monteverdi! You wouldn't happen to know the name of the painting with the male violinist?

[schwarzroterose]

the author of the painting is Károly Ferenczy and the paintings name is "Orpheus" from the year 1894
