Monteverdi:
|
 |
In the prologue of Monteverdi's opera “Orfeo”, the character Music promises to give the audience sweet melodies-some with noble anger, some with love-which can “make peaceful a restless heart or inflame a cold mind”. Texas Early Music Project presents Monteverdi at his most intimate, with exquisite laments, passionate letters set to music, dramatic madrigals of love and mythology and short excerpts from three of Monteverdi's operas which superbly illustrate the contrasts of emotions which characterize love and life. A small supporting chorus joins the featured vocal artists, Jenifer Thyssen and Stephanie Prewitt with additional solos by David Stevens, Jeffrey Jones-Ragona, Daniel Johnson, and Gil Zilkha. Concertmistress Laurie Young Stevens leads the instrumental ensemble of violins, cello, theorbo, ands harps. |
