“Gorgeous, gentle and gratifying music from a contemporary of Monteverdi. Best listened to as an innovative gem, carefully conceived, realised and expertly performed.
First performed in Padua in 1619, Stefano Landi’s opera takes up the Orpheus story almost at the point at which Monteverdi’s masterpiece of 12 years earlier ends. La Morte d’Orfeo begins after the trip to the underworld, with Euridice dead, and follows the version of the myth in which Orpheus incurs the displeasure of Bacchus, who encourages the Maenads to tear him limb from limb. When Orpheus reaches the underworld, Euridice, who has drunk the waters of Lethe and forgotten her previous life, fails to recognise him. But Orpheus is taken up to the heavens and all can end happily. Compared with the recitative style of Monteverdi’s Orfeo, the musical texture of La Morte is varied with ensembles and choruses as well as set-piece arias, the best of which is the number for Charon in the final act. The 20 roles are shared between 13 singers in this French performance, with Cyril Auvity as Orfeo. Early 17th- century brass canzonas by other composers have been inserted to articulate the dramatic scheme. It’s a fascinating glimpse of the beginnings of opera, beyond the towering achievements of Monteverdi. The Guardian - Friday June 15, 2007 - Andrew Clements
In the 400th-anniversary year of the first great opera, Monteverdi’s L’Orfeo, it is refreshing to have a recording of Stefano Landi’s take on the myth, from 1619. Landi was a Roman, and La morte d’Orfeo, though written for the city of Padua, contains elements that mark it out from northern Italian opera. As the title indicates, it concentrates on Orpheus’s fate after his failed attempt to rescue Eurydice, ending with his being torn to shreds by the Maenads, the rejection of his spirit by Eurydice and his elevation to the Elysian fields. Akademia, led by Françoise Lasserre, make the best possible case for a piece rich in vocal finery and instrumental colour. Cyril Auvity, Guillemette Laurens and Jan van Elsacker head a fine cast. The Sunday Times - Stephen Pettitt - 22 July 07
"Thanks to all-round excellence of the performance, the enterprise adds up to rather more than the sum of its parts. The action is interspersed with instrumental pieces by other composers, including a battalla by andreas Falconieri featuring some terrific cornetto playing." Richard Lawrence - Gramophone.
"One of the very best record of the year" Craig Zeichner Goldberg 5 stars
"The performers of Akademia are marvellous : the singers are full of character and extremely agle and committed, with a truly noble Orfeo sung by Cyril Auvity." Selene Mills - Early Music review UK
