Il finale è davvero commovente, non ho parole.

No words for the ending, I'm crying

eccezionale, grande, grandissimo harnoncourt

Le voci sono magnifiche, secondo me è la migliore esecuzione in circolazione.

The Best Performance!! Absolutely!

Why do such empty comparisons have to be made? The Haim/Villazon version might not be conventional but it is musically and visually well produced. How is it "camp"? I think we have some pretension here.

Among my favorites, this one is my second, the first would be or Garrido's version, or Cavina's version of this beautiful madrigal, however I prefer so much Cavina because of Emanuela Galli in the role of Clorinda =)

Hehe, OK, lets not say he is that horrible. :) At least, for my part, I don't know his work much. But when I listened to that Haim recording with him singing the Testo part, I was not impressed at all! :)

This is by far the best version of this work that has ever been recorded. I just purchased the new version with Emanuelle Haim conducting and Rolando Villazon as Testo, and it is so overdone and campy, it's horrible! His voice is so pushed it's not even funny...not for Monteverdi at least- and I also like this version because it showcases one of my favorite mezzo's off all time Trudeliese Schmidt! and Harnoncourt has always been amoung my favorite conductors and pioneers of early music...

[civileso]

I agree on all counts! And to add to your points, Hollweg gives a mind boggling performance, which, in my opinion is really one of the most memorable that I ever heard. Can't be beat!
