5.0 out of 5 stars fluent, integrated, imaginative, June 12, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Orfeo (Audio CD)

Language was important to Monteverdi, and this recording is the first I've encountered to pronounce and perform the text fluently. The instrumental work, while elaborate and imaginative, never distracts unduly from the vocal lines, and the work is presented with an impressive integrety. Worth listening to even if you have another version.
