Description:

This is a recording of an earnest performance of "Orfeo," a work that announced the dawn of the operatic age with a variety of basso continuo sounds and a true voice that attacked the fundamental power of the opera. The bass continuo group, with its abundant use of harpsichord, organ, stringed instruments, and percussion, is very appealing. The performance is truly diverse, ranging from a shimmering, soaring sound to a heavy, full-bodied blow. The singers also sing strongly and without hesitation, and the fundamental power of the music, combined with the fertile reverberations of the church, approaches the ear rapidly. King International
