Baroque Opera Recordings
Posted by Noah Tunell on December 2, 2023, 3:13 am
I am curious about recommendations for a first recording of a baroque opera. I love the more popular operas of Mozart, Verdi, Puccini, Wagner, etc. and am interested in getting to know some earlier works. I have tried to listen to one or two in the past but was quickly bored by the vast recitatives and seemingly endless de capo arias. I don't care whether or not the performance is period aware, but I do prefer big scale opera voices to like Wunderlich and Ewa Podles, who I know also sang in baroque operas. Any recommendations would be appreciated! Thanks
