Wow, that start rocks :DLovely music indeed!

Wow, this is much faster than Harnoncourt! Savall also has drums playing prominently; did he add them to the orchestration? I like it. I think Savall's players are better, too, but overall I think Harnoncourt is more imaginative and has a better singer in the Prologue. What do you think? Surely this is one of the greatest openings in all opera.

Many thanks! I listened to the Garrido, which I find superbly played but too fast; I also miss the accompanying drums in the Garrido version.

The first part of the version of Garrido is already uploaded by the user OedipusColoneus. The name of the file is: Claudio Monterverdi: L'Orfeo "Tocatta & Ritornello"

Would someone PLEASE upload the Garrido and also the Harnoncourt versions? It would be instructive to compare the three, and besides it wouldn't hurt to have many versions on YouTube of one of the greatest operas ever created.

She has a very beautiful voice for other kind of music. She is great, for example, when singing spanish medieval songs. But I agree with you in saying that her performance in this opera is wrong. Every musical sentence is not conected with the next one.

¿puedes explicarme por qué? Es obvio que existen interpretaciones mucho mejores.La versión de Ensemble Elyma dirigida por Gabriel Garrido es excelente (se llevó el diapasón de oro del año 1997)La versión de René Jacobs no me gusta, pero es mucho mejor que esta de Jordi Savall.La versión de Harnoncourt, aunque es muy antigua, todavía sigue siendo muy buena, y es definitivamente mejor que ésta.Por favor, dame argumentos que demuestren que no tengo razón.

you're right, how can a stranger sing in Italian? I'm italian and I can't stand what is she saying...

There are other versions of this work that are much better. For example, that conducted by Gabriel Garrido. Jordi Savall has not succeed in doing a good performance of this opera. |
