Euridice
Tragedia di Ottavio Rinucci
Musiche di Jacopo Peri

Finally on CD the first ever opera in a philological performance on original instruments. After long studies on the manuscripts of Jacopo Peri, the flutist and conductor Roberto de Caro recorded for ARTS this amazing masterpiece dated 1600. Only a few years later Claudio Monteverdi achieved success with his Orfeo based on a similar libretto but the dramatic intensity of this Euridice is

even higher than Monteverdi's, especially as performed by such accomplished musicians. The best singers for italian baroque music are all represented in this edition and it is as important as Euridice is an opera based on the inflexions of the italian language.

A fascinating experience in the field of the purest baroque music that ARTS Authentic series is proud to offer as part of ist budget line. The 2-CD box includes a booklet in four languages with Italian/English libretto.
