Monteverdi Choir ; English Baroque Soloists.
"Claudio Monteverdi developed the principles of opera with L'Orfeo in the first decade of the 17th century. At the very end of his life, he wrote L'incoronazione di Poppea. The opera marked a decisive move from allegorical and mythic elements towards a historical subject - the love affair between the Roman Emperor Nero and his mistress Poppea. Monteverdi's final masterpiece, where the beauty of the arias vanquished the decadence of the storyline, was first performed in the year of his death. For decades John Eliot Gardiner has been at the forefront of Monteverdi performance and scholarship, and for the 450th anniversary of Monteverdi's birth in 2017 he conducted all three of the composer's surviving full-length operas. This semi-staged production, recorded in Venice's historical Teatro La Fenice is part of that acclaimed cycle"--Cover.
