Beautiful early opera
Mary Hodder | Emeryville, CA USA | 10/08/2000
(5 out of 5 stars)

"Il Zazzerino (with works spanning 1577 to 1609) is mostly from the early music era "La Nuove Musiche" or the New Music, by Italian composer and tenor, Jacopo Peri, who wrote the first operas, Dafne (1598) and Euridice (1600). The music is luscious and warm, and Andrew Lawrence-King's harp is a beautiful counterpart to Ellen Hargis, who unfurls a sensitive but powerful expressive voice for each piece. Fans of early opera will be pleased by the recording.I discovered Il Zazzerino while looking for more work by Lawrence-King, after finding his work on the new recording of the first opera performed in the New World, by Spanish composer Torrejón y Velasco: La Púrpura de la rosa, which I also highly recommend. Another high quality early music opera."
