Nancy Argenta, Marinella Pennicchi, Bernhard Landauer & Marco Beasley I Barocchisti, Diego Fasolis Until recently all traces of Alessandro Scarlatti’s oratorio Il martirio di Santa Cecilia had been lost. Discovered in the manuscript collection of the Fondation Martin Bodmer in Cologny, near Geneva, this oratorio which had been undiscovered for decades was immediately performed in Zurich. Karl Böhmer (the booklet author) and Oliver Mattern produced the first modern edition of the work. The interpreters on that occasion are again featured on the present recording. This sacred tragedy could rightly be termed one of the most dramatic and mature oratorios of the Roman baroque. Although there are no choruses, the action is portrayed with long recitative dialogues between the protagonists, and the music’s strongest moments come when the recitatives go over into expressive accompagnati, widely ranging ariosi, and affective arias. Like all of Scarlatti’s gloomy, fatalistic oratorios, this work culminates in bloody scenes of murder and martyrdom. I Barocchisti under Diego Fasolis have previously won acclaim from Gramophone: “Diego Fasolis is a reliably astute conductor and his period-instrument orchestra I Barocchisti responds excellently to Paisiello’s ravishing use of instrumental textures.” |
