Movie Reviews of Monteverdi - L'Orfeo, L'Incoronazione di Poppea, Il Ritorno d'Ulisse in Patria, Il Combattimento di Tancredi e Clorinda (Boxset)
Movie Review: A Partial Evaluation, Based on Two of Four
Summary: 5 Stars
I'm writing this brief comment merely to respond to the single previous review, which I consider unfair and inaccurate. I've seen only two of these four productions: Orfeo & L'Incoronazione di Poppea. Both of those are so excellent musically - superior to any other recordings I've heard, including Harnoncourt's - that it seems wrong-headed to rave against the modernist staging as the previous reviewer does. Honestly, I found the staging quite suitable to the subtleties of the music and ambiguities of the libretti. I've see, for a comparison, the opulent and busy staging of Poppea by Peter Hall, starring Maria Ewing, and I vastly prefer this more delicate Amsterdam production.
I've reviewed the two that I've seen - Orfeo & Poppea - separately.
