Monteverdi: L'Orfeo

Monica Piccinini, Anna Simboli (soprano), Sara Mingardo (contralto), Furio Zanasi, Luca Dordoli (tenor) & Sergio Foresti, Antonio Abete (bass)

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 theatricl and brilliantly sung version” Sunday Times
