Written at the start of the 17th
century, L’Orfeo is generally
considered to be the first creation
in the Western operatic repertoire
and remains one of the most
appreciated operatic works today.
This masterpiece of poetry and
music will be receiving the kind of
attention to its singing and
theatricality that Emmanuelle
Haïm and her ensemble can give it
- only a matter of months after
recording it in what is already
being considered a benchmark
performance.
