L’antico immaginario: l’Orfeo di Monteverdi nell’orchestrazione di Giacomo Orefice (forthcoming) (original) (raw)

Abstract

The article examines the first Italian performance of Monteverdi's Orfeo in 20th-century Italy, in Milan in 1909 transcribed and orchestrated by the composer Giacomo Orefice (1865-1922). The article focuses on the event and the performances which followed in many Italian cities; it also analyses the manuscript score in the light of the orchestration choises made by Orefice. In early 20th-century Italy the performance of Orfeo acted both as a revival of the past and as a stimulus for modern creation.
