Monteverdi's L'Orfeo

[walboi]

Not to long ago I bought a new version of Claudio monteverdi " L' Orfeo'.

Its on Opus Arte, a two dvd set, performed by Tragicomedia and concerto Palatino, directed by Stephen Stubbs, The stage director is Pierre Audi and he has done a teriffic job. It looks so image perfect and the singers and choir did so impress me that I allready looked some dozen times at this amazing realization of this opera. Audi's expression of the symbolism is very telling and makes you aware how beautiful the story actually is. I am a great lover of the music from Monteverdi, and this reminds me why that is The dvd is razor sharp, and the colors match Audi's vision. Its a all region dvd, so there is no problem playing it the U.S.A. as well. Try it and let me know what you think.

What sad that nobody has seen this amazing production, so that there's isn't a single soul who can fullfill my longing for comparison. O, well.Later perhaps
