Marc Mauillon is a magnificent Orfeo. Everything is real: his early bliss, his distress at his loss, his plea, even his swagger out of Hades and his fatal impulse to turn back and look at Euridice, against instructions...this one is special, for the instantly recognizable fallibility of its hero.

The real revelation is that of the baritone Marc Mauillon as Orfeo, whose understanding of the intimate fusion of words and music that lies at the heart of Monteverdi’s writing produces some beautifully parsed and rhetorically effective singing.
