| |  | Oratorio, Rom 1708. Libretto: Kardinal Pietro Ottoboni
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.” “Scarlatti's masterfully crafted music drama has engaging confrontations and a cleverly designed mixture of striking arias. Diego Fasolis ensure that I Barocchisti play stylishly, and everything about the articulation and flow of this performance feels just right. Nancy Argenta is also on top form in a magnificent heroic accompagnato and aria for Cecilia when she has been condemned to death for refusing to renounce Christianity...” Gramophone Magazine, 2008 Awards Issue |
