The Monteverdi Trilogy consists of three titles previously reported here:
All these titles are concerts with a few props. They are not opera performances. I maybe should have excluded these titles. But Gardiner is one of the most famous conductors of early music, so I list them out of respect for him. I give a D to these recordings. This doesn’t mean they are bad. It just means don’t buy this unless you know what you are doing.
The artwork on all these titles is weird—four slightly different images of the same speedboat an a lake. I expected the box with three titles to feature a water-skier in a bikini. Life is full of disappointments.
