A Joyous Recording

‘Teatro d’Amore should be in the running for “Classical Recording of the Year” What fun it must have been for the performers to create this splendid recording. I have bought three copies for friends, and continue to hear new details and nuances with each listening. Christina Pluhar uses great musicians and singers on this CD, and the ensemble playing is incredible. There is something for everyone here, but “Lamento della Ninfa” and “Zefiro torna” are incredibly beautiful, and will melt your heart. Its amazing how modern this music sounds, the “walking bass” line of Chiome d’oro, and Ohimie ch’io cado are an interesting side note, but in the end its Claudio Monteverdi who is truly a “man for all seasons”
