Description:

The Complete *Orfeo* in the Early Music StyleMonteverdis *Orfeo*, which shines in the history of Western music as one of the very first operas, is judged not only on its musical merits but also on the quality of its stagecraft; this recording, featuring a traditional visual presentation, is highly recommended even for first-time viewers. Featuring powerful singing by Ainsley and others, along with the unbeatable ensemble of *Tragicomedia* and *Concerto Palatino*, this recording captures an ideal performance.
