5.0 out of 5 stars Pleasing anachronism, 24 May 2005

By	M. F. Colman "Marshall Colman" - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This performance from the 1950s sounds surprising after decades of authentic performance. The instruments are modern, the forces large and the style of singing rich, full and almost romantic. Yet the effect is electrifying. All the performers sing with such conviction that this Poppea moved me and it makes some authentic performances sound thin and academic by comparison. Despite its age, the quality of the recording is good and the singing has presence.

5.0 out of 5 stars Class is timeless, 5 April 2007

By	Beanie "Beanie" (Hove, England) - See all my reviews

This is a wonderful recording. It features the original Glyndebourne cast and the quality shines throughout. A particular highlight amongst many is the duet between Damigella and Valetto (disc 1 track 18). Elizabeth Forbes, in her obituary of Soo-Bee Lee (Independent, 9/9/05) describes the stage performance thus: "Opera-goers with memories long enough to date back to the 1960s will not have forgotten the enchantingly pretty Chinese soprano Soo-Bee Lee as Damigella, the serving maid in Monteverdi's L'Incoronazione di Poppea at Glyndebourne. Her flirtatious duet with Valetto, the page, sung by the tenor Duncan Robertson, regularly brought forth a storm of applause from enraptured audiences for three years running, in 1962, 1963 and 1964." The spark in that duet transfers vividly to disc - a treat to be savoured!
