Two great interpreters of Monteverdi's music pay tribute to the great composer in this anniversary year. Neopolitan tenor Marco Beasley and the young Belgian conductor Nicolas Achten are joined by the Regenc'hips to perform the love drama Il Combattimento di Tancredi et Clorinda which ends with a death scene to rival any for emotional drama.
