- AN EXEMPLARY VERSION OF MONTEVERDI'S OPERATIC MASTERPIECE
‘René Jacobs revisits the tradition of performer-arrangers, offering
us one of the most sumptuous-sounding versions that has yet been heard.
. . . He opts for a rich instrumentation inspired by court orchestras,
and pads out the ritornellos by rewriting them for five-part ensemble . .
. Worthy of special praise are the amazingly telling interpretation of
Jennifer Larmore (Octavia), the smooth vocalising of Danielle Borst
(Poppea), and the cavernous depths of Michael Schopper (Seneca).' –
Denis Morrier, L'Avant-scène Opéra, no.224 (February 2005)
This title was released for the first time in 1990.
