This beautiful duet from Monteverdi's opera L'Incoronazione di Poppea is a wonderful addition to the CME Opera Workshop series. This duet, which occurs at the end of the opera, beautifully illustrates Monteverdi's ability to interweave the vocal lines in a harmonically intriguing way. Ann Small's edition features an ornamented return of the first section of the duet with trills that contain repeated articulation of the same notes, a favored ornament in Monteverdi's works. Duration: ca. 3 minutes 30 seconds. |
