About

This first complete recording of the rarely performed Naples version of Claudio Monteverdi‘s L‘incoronazione di Poppea examines the familiar story about love, seduction and power from a new perspective, and enthrals with its passion and gusto. Both the music and text differ from the earlier, ‘Venice’ version from 1643 in many places, enabling the story of Poppea and the Emperor Nero to be experienced in a fresh and thrilling way. Beautifully played on historical instruments by the Cantus Firmus Consort under the direction of Andreas Reize, who is the new Thomaskantor in Leipzig since September 2021, this elaborate CD production was created within the framework of the production at Waldegg Castle / Solothurn in summer 2021.
