About "L'Orfeo, SV 318 / Act I : Monteverdi: L'Orfeo, SV 318 / Act I: "Rosa del ciel" - "Io non dirò qual sia" - "Lasciate i monti" - "Vieni, Imeneo"" by Anthony Rolfe Johnson
Monteverdi's 'Rosa del ciel' blooms with Renaissance radiance: Rolfe Johnson's Orfeo sings of love and light, the stile concitato pulsing beneath. The scene shifts from solo devotion to choral festivity, a wedding's joy shadowed by fate—the calm before the underworld's call.
