Excepcional: 'García Alarcón gives us an interpretation full of freshness and expressive force, delicate and subtle where it should be, and of great dramatic effect where the music requires it.'

Album information
Having performed and matured his interpretation of Monteverdi’s masterpiece throughout his life, Leonardo García Alarcón now presents his vision of L’Orfeo, together with his group of soloists, the Namur Chamber Choir and Cappella Mediterranea. This album was nominated for a 2022 Edison Classical Opera Award.
Monteverdi’s L’Orfeo is naturally an iconic work for the Argentinian conductor and he now presents his vision of L’Orfeo: Monteverdi’s opera is as much the apotheosis of the Renaissance as a testimony to the nascent Baroque style. This is what strikes us when we listen to this new recording, which so eloquently emphasises the contrasts between sometimes nostalgic glances towards the past and the most innovative expressions of operatic language. The printed score, published two years after the premiere in Mantua in 1607, offers contrasts too: is it the snapshot of a specific performance or a ‘blueprint’ intended for future performers? In fact, it is both, and that is where we find the tricky questions that must be answered by those who open this precious document; Leonardo García Alarcón does so here in a manner at once respectful, inventive and theatrical.
