Two winners of the German Echo Klassik (Classical) 2009 awards. Christina Pluhar and l'Arpeggiata were awarded the 'Klassik ohne Grenzen' award (and award for a performer or orchestra that brings classical music to audiences not normally subjected to Classical music. And then ... A simply stunning duet between Spanish soprano Nuria Rial and the counter tenor Philippe Jaroussky. A magical performance. Nuria Rial was given the award for Echo Young Classical Performer of the Year. Pur ti miro is from Claudio Monteverdi's l'Incoronazione di Poppea.

  • Beautiful voice beautiful work.

  • The greatest version of Pur ti miro on Youtube.

  • This is a great performance, and the instrumental introduction sounds incredibly modern and rich. The music written by Monteverdi sometimes sounds more creative and up to date than most of the music composed nowadays. It fits the harmonies we "modern people" like and need to hear in a great way.

  • @mauriciomille No, since the early 19th century there is no castrato anymore. In the late 18th century the castrati were already becoming out of fashion. And nowadays it's completely illegal, hehe. The men who sing in these higher tessituras almost disappeared for some time, but since some decades ago they "re-appeared" with the countertenors, who are men - I mean, man-like men, indeed hehe - who simply train their voices to be able to sing like sopranos or mezzo-sopranos.

  • I would be the baroque violin in the hands of Veronica. Skuplik

    Just so I could reach the paradise.

    an affectionate greeting to those who play this wonderful song.
