  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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 !!!!

  • The early baroque period is my favorite style of baroque!

  • 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.

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

  • beautifully)

  • 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.
