3. Claudio Monteverdi | Tim Carter

What happens when a piece by Monteverdi finds its way to its original concert hall?In the third episode of season 3 of the Early Music Podcast, Tim Carter introduces us to Claudio Monteverdi (1567-1643), an Italian composer and contemporary of Girolamo Frescobaldi, who is considered one of the creators of opera and, with Orfeo, the author of the first masterpiece of the genre. From Florence to Venice, passing through Mantua, this third episode evokes the privileged link between architecture and music and evokes the scenic dimension of the works of Monteverdi and his contemporaries.To go further >CREDITSguest Tim Carter, musicologistinterview & editing Andrew Burnproduction REMAcredits music Platée, Act 1, Orage - Jean-Philippe Rameauperformed by Les Talens Lyriques, dir.
