Monteverdi – L'Orfeo – Harnoncourt, Concentus Musicus Wien

A landmark in historically informed performance, this 3-LP box set of Claudio Monteverdi’s L’Orfeo is led by Nikolaus Harnoncourt with Concentus Musicus Wien and Capella Antiqua München. Using period instruments and original performance practices, this release marked a major moment in the revival of early Baroque opera.

Presented by Das Alte Werk (Telefunken), this is one of the first recordings to feature L’Orfeo in its complete form, performed entirely with authentic instrumentation.
