About this CD
This recording from La Venexiana unchains those passions stirred originally with the arrival of one of the most dazzling masterworks of Baroque musical theatre: Il Nerone, ossia L’incoronazione di Poppea. For a long time attributed only to the exceptional talents of Claudio Monteverdi (1567-1643), today this opera is considered additionally to be the result of the combined contributions of various composers over a period of time, among them being Francesco Cavalli (1602-1676), Benedetto Ferrari (c.1603-1681), and Francesco Sacrati (1605-1650).
Following on directly from a recent La Venexiana staged production, Glossa and the ensemble of Claudio Cavina present here a highly-charged reading of the art of Monteverdi and his heritage, as transmitted by him and through composers after him – an art which created, enlivened and ultimately completely changed the musical world of their times.
It is not only discerning music lovers around the globe who are giving a warm welcome to the recordings which are being published on Glossa; critical approval in the specialist media has been joining in as well. One example of the latter is the newly-instigated International Classical Music Awards (ICMA) which, for its inaugural 2011 edition, has chosen no less than nine of Glossa’s recent releases in its initial nominations.
