Great Recording of a Great Opera.......2002-11-27

When I first purchased this album, I was somewhat inexperienced with opera. Comparing this to others that I had heard, I found that L'Incoronazione di Poppea, or especially this recording of it, sounded different somehow, even strange, with all the high vocal ranges and the lack of extensive background instrumentation. However, I have now fully overcome my original doubt and now rank this as one of my favorite opera recordings. It is exactly what L'Incoronazione should be - somewhat simple, liquid, aurally pleasing rather than overwhelming. But, at the same time it should not be mixed up with light-hearted pretty music, it was Monteverdi's true magnum opus and one of the great highlights of early opera. I'm confidant that if you are willing to familiarize with this work as exactly what it is - an early Venetian opera - and nothing else, you will soon find yourself addicted. It is overwhelmingly worth the few days wait for shipping.
