Watching this duet in a passionate performance always has me weeping by the end. When I think of how awful both Nero and Poppea are it seems surprising that it can affect me so much. Monteverdi was a genius and his music does something to my brain that is unlike any other composer ❤
Intriguing, educational and beautiful music, expertly shown. It's a shame about the copyright strike, which would have completed a seamless auditory and intellectual experience
Philippe Jarousky and his costume designers managed to make this the over-the-top creepiest rendition of it. He is positively stalking Poppea, with undisguised psychopathic glee. The gorgeousness of Jarousky's voice probably manages to make it even creepier just in the cognitive dissonance. ruclips.net/video/_isL0E-4TsQ/видео.htmlsi=WCS2HnKwERbZlAaP
Excellent. Thank you. I could ask endlessly about the change to G flat, and how that could possibly make a difference (When, as you explained, the choice of instruments was open-ended) but I will accept your experience in the matter.
Still remember the 1st time I heard LIDP, on the arte channel, it blew me away! I hastely recorded it on VHS and then transfered to K7. Amazing music regardless of who wrote it.
Totally genius to write something so beautiful to play with discomfort! Monteverdi seems to have used dissonance to illustrate how conflict can be "dressed up" politically.
Interesting video and it does sound great. I remember first hearing a bit of Monteverdi in an unusual way at Leeds Art Gallery about 20 years ago. There was a room showing a Quay Brothers collaboration with Opera North with Simon Keenleyside, I think. It was based on L’Orfeo. It is on RUclips… not really best appreciated on a phone or tablet though. ruclips.net/video/RM_p5CLdrX8/видео.html
Wow..sounds 200 years before it's time. So grateful
My favorite version is 2010 Glossa recording with Claudio Cavina
That upright has a really nice sound. Don't usually see them sounding that good.
It's a Yamaha U3. They are good pianos, yes.
What a stunningly beautiful duet. Thank you for showing it to me.

Pur ti Miro was sung at my wedding but unfortunately it was an ill-fated choice as we were divorced 4 years later! ;-)
Dangerous choice!
@@matthewking1873 Absolutely!
I sang Seneca and his death scene is great!
Bravo! Magnificent scene.

Thank you. If you follow the link in the video description, you'll be able to hear two rather good performances!
@@themusicprofessor Thank you: I will
@@themusicprofessor I have, thank you: it was an experience!
Thanks, very educational!

Reminds me of Liszt gondoliera from venezia e napoli
Nice
Telemann, his mother having forced him to study law, was the first to pursue intellectual property rights to music and performance.

Monteverdi. So Exquisite. So brilliant. My favorite composer who’s name isn’t JS Bach
