L’Orfeo

Album by Claudio Monteverdi & Laurence Dale & Efrat Ben-Nun & Jennifer Larmore & Paul Gerimon & Bernarda Fink & Harry Peeters & Andreas Scholl & Nicolas Rivenq & Concerto Vocale & René Jacobs

L'Orfeo is an opera by Claudio Monteverdi, first performed in 1607. Using expressive solo monody and recitative alongside polyphonic choruses and instrumental ritornelli, its blend of vocal and orchestral textures marks the transition from late Renaissance styles to the early Baroque and helped define dramatic and musical conventions in Monteverdi's output and the wider history of opera.
