Monteverdi/ Taverner Consort & Players/ Parrott - L'orfeo

Andrew Parrott and the Taverner Consort & Players celebrate their 40th anniversary with a magnificent recording of the world's first operatic masterpiece. Parrott has been at the center of the early and baroque music scenes for over four decades, and his meticulous research brings a fresh perspective to the myth of love lost and found through the art of music. Befitting such an outstanding recording, the two-CD set is luxuriously packaged with extensive notes and the complete libretto with English translations in a 60-page booklet.
