Description:

In the early 17th century, early Baroque solo works with instrumental accompaniment began to coexist with the polyphonic choral works of the Renaissance period, which had been the mainstream until then. It is said that this was done in pursuit of diversity of expression, although of course the musical forms were different. The name "Orpheus," which appears in the title, refers to a poet and musician in Greek mythology, and it is said that all animals, plants, and flowers were enchanted by the sound of the lyre he played. The album is a collection of songs by the most famous singers of our time. In this album, Julian Pregardien, a famous contemporary singer, sings British, German, and Italian songs in praise of Orpheus, and Teatro del Mondo, conducted by Kuppels, connects the songs with various dances.
