"This is an impressively musical Orfeo. With John Eliot Gardiner in charge of such a strong cast of singers and players, it could hardly have been otherwise. Most enigmatic of all is Anthony Rolfe Johnson's acting of the central role. Here is an Orfeo whose blood certainly boils, but only very locally. When Hope abandons him in Act 3, all is despair; but neither loss of Euridice-from life in Act 2 or from Hades in Act 4-draws from him the sustained passion it so easily might have done.
