This review is from: Orfeo Fantasia [Hybrid SACD] (Audio CD)

This is an attractive disc centering on the Orpheus legend. (Five of the pieces are derived from Monteverdi's opera L'ORFEO.) It features the versatile English tenor Charles Daniels and the Montreal Baroque ensemble. Made up of Renaissance and Early Baroque vocal and instrumental pieces, it is skilfully put together, very well sung, and nicely played. Daniels has an attractive and extremely flexible voice. His work on nine of the tracks is exemplary. The remainder of the pieces are instrumental realizations. These are attractive and charming.

The SACD sound is absolutely superb.

This disc is an all-around winner.
