CD Review last Saturday (3 more days to listen)
Andrew talks to conductor Andrew Parrott about his new recording of Monteverdi's l'Orfeo
A very interesting 50 minutes. I was pleased to hear AP’s comment that l'Orfeo was not an opera with sets and costumes as we tended to think these days, and (this was Andrew’s ‘input’) recording was a suitable option. Having seen the video clips of most available DVDs, I had been hovering over the idea of going for a CD, and now I am trying to make up my mind over these three CDs (or shall I get them all and be done with…)
