Description:
A landmark in Baroque opera recordings, newly remastered. This 'royal entertainment in music' was fashioned by Cavalli to a libretto by Giovanni Faustini for performance in Venice in 1644, two years after L'incoronazione di Poppaea saw the light of day. Through the course of Ormindo we follow the adventures of two pairs of lovers as they betray, deceive and flee from each other before the inevitable happy ending. A death scene in prison for the eponymous prince and his sweetheart Erisbe is marked by a grave pathos that sounds down the centuries - at least since Raymond Leppard exhumed the score from total obscurity. Conducting Ormindo at the 1967 Glyndebourne Festival, Leppard spearheaded the modern revival of Cavalli's fortunes. Critics noted the conductor's significant revisions and rearrangements, but they were almost unanimous in their gratitude at hearing and seeing on stage the work of a pioneering opera composer for the first time, and in performances that did full justice to both music and drama. Leppard and Glyndebourne assembled a sumptuous continuo section and cast well-schooled for the time in the ornate language of seventeenth-century Venetian opera. The popular and critical success of Ormindo at Glyndebourne gave rise to a sequel, with Leppard's similarly imaginative realization of Calisto, which has also been reissued by Eloquence (482 9382). L'Ormindo has long been unavailable and the package includes Raymond Leppard's original note and a synopsis.

(function() { P.when('cr-A', 'ready').execute(function(A) { if(typeof A.toggleExpanderAriaLabel === 'function') { A.toggleExpanderAriaLabel('review_text_read_more', 'Read more of this review', 'Read less of this review'); } }); })(); .review-text-read-more-expander:focus-visible { outline: 2px solid #2162a1; outline-offset: 2px; border-radius: 5px; } Opera is the only 'classical' area where I have difficulty coming to terms with period performance, which I generally prefer in orchestral and chamber music. I have the Correas / Les Paladins period recording, and despite the brisker tempos the whole thing seems drained of emotional force, perfunctory even. What a contrast with Leppard's realization! He's not a conductor I usually care for, but here he shines, alongside his spectacular cast. No contest, unfortunately.
Très bel opéra de Cavalli

In the vein of La Calisto - and there's naught wrong with that.
Just beautiful, although could be mistaken for a rehearsal of La Calisto. Leppard's orchestral settings are to die for (unless you are a hair-shirt authenticist). Listen to this in the bath and just drift away.
Wonderful singing
Wonderful singing and music. Beautifully realised by Raymond Leppard and Glyndebourne .
