Orfeo ed Euridice (Vienna Version) (Complete Opera)

1001 Classical recordings to hear before you die (1761-1800) - "(Gardiner) presents with a bite and sense of drama both totally in period and deeply expressive. The elemant of sensousness, not least in the beautiful counter-tenor, Derek Lee Ragin, in the title-role, complements the Elysian beauty Gardiner finds in such passages as the introduction to Che puro ciel."
