- The ending duetto of 'Incoronazione di Poppea' is really good stuff,
- as usually all Monteverdi when performed well. Anyhow, I cannot
- resist commenting one thing: The liner notes of some of the
- recordings mention (sorry I don't remember which one) that just that
- duetto 'Pur ti miro' IS NOT by Monteverdi, but that he has borrowed
- it from somebody else, perhaps from Benedetto Ferrari.
- Especially I like his nickname: Benedetto Ferrari 'della tiorba'.
- (My eagerness for mentioning Ferrari is explained by the fact that
- I also play theorbo :-)
- Ferrari has lots of fine music. The Italian faximile-publisher
- S.P.E.S has published one large collection.
- By the way: In the days of Monteverdi it sometimes was an honour
- to borrow one's piece, not a violation of copyright.
