L’incoronazione di Poppea
NOV 2001984Monteverdi’s opera L’incoronazione di Poppea is considered to be one of the defining works of the 17th century. Alan Curtis’s edition is the result of over 20 years of research by consulting all 17th-century resources and collating the two surviving manuscripts to produce a clear and accurate score, a full and logical Italian text, and a preface which explains the complex background to this work. An invaluable tool for singers, continuo players, and conductors, the score provides a basis for an authentic performance of the original opera, either staged or in concert and it is further enhanced by an additional faithful English singing translation by Arthur Jacobs.These titles are available on special import from www.musicroom.com.
