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

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

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

Hello, who is performing this piece?

[voxhunden]

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!
