Eser: where do you get the monteverdi scores? I have been trying to get the score for Ohime dove il mio ben, apparently it is in the seventh book of madrigals, but can't find it in the usual pages.... do you have any other page that you are using?
It's been some time since I got some Monteverdi scores, so I don't remember from where. But it was not one of the usual websites, I think. I can send you what I have. I checked to see if I got the one you need, but I don't :(
ok, because I checked cpdl, werner icking, imslp and two american libraries and couldnt find it, so if you have any other link, you can let me know, see if I can find it.
This piece by Monteverdi is fabulous, and the interpretation is gorgeous! It's as if the three male voices were weaving a carpet on which the female voice can unfold its splendour... A real masterpiece!
Figueras is not my favourite, but this version is better than Dessay's. Much warmer, richer sound, more heart-felt(?) Savall la rompe!!! (Savall kicks ass!!)
Thank you for posting...

Qué vos poderosa y a la vez aterciopelada... que descensos tan suaves y que suavidad en los altos...

Argh... Why did they have to set the composition bench mark so high that now none of the "popular" "singers" like gaga or britney cannot reach it?
Ah...
Wonderful!

Wow - compared to the Allessandrini version, this is so slow!

I thought that Figueras was a soprano... anw no big deal... especially in early Baroque music, since no such vocal categorisation was yet in place...

You're right, she's a soprano. I simply forgot to remove "mezzo" from the description of the video with Ann Murray. Thanks for letting me know. :)
