Discography Highlights

Monteverdi: L'Orfeo
Alessandrini / Concerto Italiano (Naïve) 2007


     Possibly the new definitive L'Orfeo. This is a studio recording, and the immediacy and detail of the performances reflect this. Alessandrini gives a very distinctive interpretation, notably in his elastic use of tempo. Here, L'Orfeo feels startlingly vibrant and contemporary.
     Every one of the soloists is excellent, and this is a real showcase for Furio. Clearly, Orfeo is a role that he has lived with for a while, and I imagine that the level of fluency and precision displayed in this performance could only be the product of years of refinement. Top-notch! Hear samples here.

Monteverdi: L'Orfeo (DVD)
Savall / Le Concert des Nations (BBC / Opus Arte) 2003


     Although the Alessandrini CD is ideal in its way, a fully realized theatrical performance is of course irreplaceable. I highly recommend obtaining this DVD. This may the best production of L'Orfeo out there. (See the gallery for pictures.)

Buenos Aires Madrigal: Argentine Tangos & 17th Cent. Italian Madrigals - La Chimera (MA Recordings) 2004


     This CD is a real treat. A compelling blend of tango and madrigals, utilizing instruments from both genres in organic-feeling arrangements. Furio and alto Ximena Biondo trade off solo vocals. (Furio performs several Argentine pieces as well as Italian.) Hear the music at La Chimera's website.

Vivaldi: Farnace - Savall / Le Concert des Nations (Alia Vox) 2002


     Furio's aria "Gelido in ogni vena" has to be among the most chillingly beautiful performances I have heard. The recording is from a staged performance of the opera, and features several delightful arias by Furio in the title role, along with other great singers.

Monteverdi: Vespro Della Beata Vergine - Alessandrini / Concerto Italiano (Naïve) 2004


     A perfect recording of Monteverdi's timeless work. Furio is featured in the solo "Nigra Sum".
