Il ritorno d'Ulisse' is unquestionably one of the three pillars that place Monteverdi among the greatest of opera composers; this recording marks the premiere of a new performing version by Martin Pearlman. Portuguese tenor and baroque specialist Fernando Guimaraes stars in the title role, alongside the internationally renowned mezzo-soprano Jennifer Rivera as his loving wife Penelope. Mr. Pearlman's new performing version benefits from the same attention to detail that has ensured his reputation as a leading champion of period performance. Founded in 1973 by Martin Pearlman, Boston Baroque is already familiar to an international audience with its critically acclaimed catalogue of recordings. The three-time Grammy® nominated ensemble is widely regarded as 'one of the world's premier period instruments bands' (Fanfare). ‘The singing throughout was excellent…Kudos to Boston Baroque...’ (Boston Globe) ‘The Boston Baroque players achieve superb clarity of texture, performing with exceptional technical adroitness.’ (Opera News)
