Fantastic - Brava!!
Wonderful thank you
Italy is the cradle of Western classical music as is known today.
No mention of Jacopo Peri's _Dafne_ ?
What a wonderful introduction to the world of opera - especially intriguing and I would like to know or hear more. Will there be any further lectures? Also where will you be conducting next?
Was there a reason why the music of Caccini and then later Monteverdi was not played? Disappointing, especially since in both cases you were kind enough to remark on them. Other than that, I am really enjoying this video; I have been waiting for someone to make an in depth video of the birth of opera. Also thank you for taking us inside Palazzo Bardi. I have spent countless hours looking for the room where all this musical investigation was taking place only to find out many months ago that the room had been converted into an apartment where one could visit and stay. I always had hoped that it could have been returned to its original state or at least as best as could be conjectured.
I was connected to the zoom lecture and the music did play. How is it that it no longer plays on the recording of the lecture?
It was not auspicious that as soon as she announces she’ll talk about the birth of opera, we have our ears pounded by…. Mozart! And then we are teased about the concept of earliest notation and the advent of staff notation, all without mentioning or showing neumes or early actual notation …. but no matter, that was hundreds and hundreds of years before opera (the actual topic here). Luckily, the content improves for those that continue to listen farther into the lecture. Unfortunately someone seems to have EDITED OUT MOST of the musical examples! One example that remains is a historic recording oddity, which is interesting, but does not feature instruments actually used in Montiverdi’s day, and likely also features reharmonization for the tastes of early 20th century ears. Ie- not an example of early opera at all. Unbelievable.
Infamy! Either you are plagiarising John Andrews, or vice-versa. Entire sections are word-for-word. Whose lecture is this, really? - ruclips.net/video/ftguObB7R90/видео.html
