Claudio Monteverdi L'INCORONAZIONE DI POPPEA Signor, hoggi rinasco

From L'Incoronazione di Poppea the final duet 'Pur ti miro' has been posted several times on youtube. Personally, I consider it inferior to the preceding duet 'Signor, hoggi rinasco'.
It is here sung by: Jennifer Larmore, mezzo-soprano, Nerone, and Hei-Kyung Hong,soprano, Poppea.

Very nice choice of accompanying images. Could you please give us a bit more information on the conductor, the production, etc? Thank you for posting this.

It's not from an opera production. It's from a compilation CD with famous duets called "Bellezza Vocale"".

Thanks for the info, I was surprised Jennifer Larmore was in an Early Opera. She does beautifully though.

In the early 1990's Jennifer Larmore did sing this repertoire. There's at least one recording of L'incoronazione with Larmore singing the role of Ottavia, René Jacobs conducting. I think she later switched to other repertoire. I just checked it.

I absolutely agree with you about the superiority of this duet to Pur ti miro ( which, as modern editions of the opera point out, was not written by Monteverdi, but by Francesco Sacrati). The whole scene, beginning with Signor, oggi rinasco, and including the duet, ne piu s'interpora, included here, has so much more energy and inventiveness than Sacrati's finale.
