[@MitochondrialSteve]

This is and always well be my most favourite ever piece of music. Loved it for over 25 years now! Still gives me chills every single time I hear it. I love when I come across a new performance

Beautiful, love the ethereal staging and movement in this scene

[@davidbastardo4154]

This is the best production of L'Orfeo I have seen, but I also like the performance more than every other version I've heard, including Savall's, which may be unorthodox. Speaking of which, I am beyond transfixed by Laurence Kilsby. My God, what a gorgeous-sounding (and looking) tenor.
