Music reviews of Monteverdi: Il ritorno d'Ulisse in patria / Harnoncourt

Music Review: Superb very early classical music
Rating: 5 Stars

If you're breaking into Classical Music and have been turned off by the very early works, I would encourage you to have a listen to these songs which come from one of the very earliest operas ever written.

Claudio Montiverdi lived from 1567 to 1643. This opera was written in Venice not long before his death and is all about "The Homecoming of Odysseus".

The instruments used in conveying this rare composition are those which were in popular use at the time, so the sound is refreshingly unique, not something that you're likely to hear elsewhere.

The work is quite lengthy, adhering strictly to the original poem which serves as the libretto. The three-CD set comes with a very nice 162-page liner booklet which outlines the general story, the instrumentation, and lists the entire libretto.

This CD represents a masterpiece of very early operetic work.
