Product Description
CD83294 Monteverdi: L'Incoronazione di Poppea Curtis Innsbruck '
Monteverdi: L'Incoronazione di Poppea
Innsbruck Festival
28 August 1980
Broadcast
Carmen Balthrop – Poppea Carolyn Watkinson – Nerone/Fortuna Andrea Bierbaum – Ottavia Judith Nelson – Drusilla/Virtu/Pallade Henri Ledroit – Ottone Ulrik Cold – Seneca Guy de Mey – Lucano Carlo Gaifa – Arnalta Peter Ratincx – Amore Harry van der Kamp – Littore/Mercurio Ben Holt – Liberto
Alan Curtis – conductor
As a good friend is currently conducting a new production of this opera (unfortunately not to be broadcast), I thought I would dig out one of a series of recordings I have conducted by Alan Curtis from the Innsbruck Festival. Despite omitting the characters of Nutrice, Valletto and Damighella, this is still fairly complete version of Monteverdi's great final opera and features a rare live performance by the French countertenor Henri Ledroit who died tragically young in the late 1980s

We sell only opera recordings. The recordings are sent to you in paper sleeves with no tray card or inserts, just the raw discs with printed labels. These recordings are of nonprofessional quality that are in the public domain. The quality of these old opera recordings is not very good and they are meant for collectors and educational purposes only. Most of them are 30 or 40 years old, so they might be blurry, colors faded, and not sound very good, but they might not be available elsewhere. Please note that most of our recordings do not have tracks, they have 1 long track per disc.
