ATMA CLASSIQUE !
The Orpheus legend was always a subject of inspiration for composers. This SACD contains vocal and instrumental music composed in Italy, France, and England at the dawn of the 17th century. Of course it includes excerpts from Monteverdi's “L'Orfeo,” first performed in Mantua in 1607.
English tenor Charles Daniels is a specialist in early music and has made over 40 recordings including “Messiah” with the Gabrieli Consort and more than 20 discs of Purcell's music, mainly with the King's Consort. In his first recording for ATMA, Charles Daniels is accompanied by La Bande Montréal Baroque. Margaret Little and Susie Napper, the viola da gamba duo Les Voix Humaines, are also players on this recording.
