Monteverdi wrote things down. He didn't invent anything. He just controlled. So recitative, and trumpet music was just placed on paper. God for him. He didn't create the style.
@OPUSARTE _ WHEN WILL BE AVAILABLE IN BLU-RAY THIS IMPORTANT PRODUCTION WITH JORDI SAVALL , I HAVE BOUGHT THE RECENT PRODUCTION IN SCALLA - DON'T WORST BUT NOTHIN COMPARES TO PRODUCTION WITH SAVALL THAT IS BETTER !!!! OTHER EXCELLENT PRODUCTION is THE ARTS FLORISSANTS WITH WILLIAM CHRISTIE- of OTHER RECORD LABEL - L'ORFEO !!!!!!!!! AND I ASK TOO ABOUT THE PRODUCTIONS OPERAS OF RAMEAU WITH WILLIAM CHRISTIE AND LES ARTS FLORISSANTS - OPUSARTE - LES INDES GALANTES AND ....WHAT'S BLU-RAYS !!!!
Can someone answer this for me? How is it that Monteverdi can, in about 1604 or so, have such a "modern" concept of orchestration - only to 1) basically abandon this in his later work and 2) his successors essentially write completely uninteresting orchestrations until about the time of Gluck? I realize that this is a generalization, but, if you look at Purcell, Handel, or Scarlatti et al, you find boringly anemic orchestrations; basically little more than a string ensemble and a keyboard.
One of the grandest openings of any opera; this music sounds as fresh to me as the day it was created! I love the shifiting rhythms and dissonant chords.
The theorboist on the left with boofy grey hair is Eduardo Eguez!!!! HURAH! Ps L'Orfeo is the greatest musical drama in history. It is divine. Well done signor Claudio.

I just noticed (watching the DVD for the umpteenth time) that the concertmaster is giving the beat while the conductor is away.

Bravo.
la musica de Monteverdi en las manos de Savall es una combinación potente.
Aqui podemos observar sin duda la fuerza espiritual de la música.
