A great work of art, and a magnificent piece of sorcery/renaissance magic/proto science. I strongly recommend the works of Dame Frances Yates of the Warburg and Courtauld Institute, such as "Giordano Bruno" and "The Rosicrucian Enlightenment" among many others. Thank you for posting it. I'm glad to see transition music has so many fans, intelligent fans at that.
A great example of a royal Masque and a good illustration of the vast wealth of the monarchs of the period, that they could commission a work like this to be performed once, then put away. We are very lucky that this came down to us completely intact, with staging notes and conductors comments from the performance, down to the ex tempore of the individual performers.

I remember watching this when it first came on tv in Australia in 1994. I loved it, and it's what got me into early music

Why I have never heard of it before?
For me Nigel Rogers is the best Monteverdi singer ever and I thank You lalagonegaga to find and reveal it
I wish I could have it on DVD
