Il combattimento di Tancredi e Clorinda

Album by Claudio Monteverdi & Clemencic Consort

Il combattimento di Tancredi e Clorinda is a dramatic scena by Claudio Monteverdi, composed in 1624. This short dramatic work, drawn from Torquato Tasso's epic narrative, combines expressive recitative, heightened vocal ornamentation and vivid instrumental effects to evoke a nocturnal duel, and it represents an early experiment in operatic dramatisation and theatrical realism in Monteverdi's output.
