Concerto Italiano, Rinaldo Alessandrini

This new recording of Monteverdi’s “Orfeo”, a work which is generally considered to be the first true opera in musical history, marks its 400th anniversary. It is performed in a new version developed by one of the world’s leading experts on the composer’s music, Rinaldo Alessandrini and his internationally acclaimed ensemble Concerto Italiano, and presented in a luxurious limited edition of 2 CDs within an illuminating book.

“The first opera to survive in the modern repertoire had its premiere in Mantua 400 years ago. It’s hard to imagine a finer anniversary present than Alessandrini’s superbly theatrical and brilliantly sung version.” Sunday Times – No.1 Classical Album of the Year

Monteverdi:

Il quinto libro de madrigali, 1605


Concerto Italiano, Rinaldo Alessandrini

With his Fifth Book of Madrigals Monteverdi cast off the conventions of his time and created a style in which the music served the words and the expression of emotions: the birth of Baroque.

Handel:

This first oratorio written by Handel in Rome shows already the marvellous virtuosity of his writing at that time, as well as his fine assimilation of the Italian style. Pure enjoyment.

Scarlatti, D:

Stabat Mater a 10 voci

Mass in G minor


Concerto Italiano, Rinaldo Alessandrini

A masterly composition on a par with the famous version by Pergolesi. Like his father Alessandro (whose Magnificat, performed by the same artists, was released this spring), Domenico Scarlatti brings, to an already somewhat archaic style, great modernity and a most moving expression of the emotions.

Monteverdi: Il    sesto libro de madrigali, 1614

Monteverdi: Il sesto libro de madrigali, 1614


Concerto Italiano, Rinaldo Alessandrini

“Alessandrini and his crew employ a tense, edgy rhetoric to reveal an inner psychology while sacrificing neither precision of ensemble nor beauty of sound. Concerto Italiano are now such a sensitive instrument that they respond to the emotional exigencies of the texts like silk to the breeze. Listen to the passionate terza parte of the Lamento d’Arianna; or the final line of Zefiro torna, where the drawn-out dissonances are almost physically painful… I could find a hundred such examples without ever conveying the many excellencies of this recording.” Gramophone
