Oratorio for the Passion of Our Lord Jesus Christ: Alessandro Scarlatti

演出简介

Deepen your understanding of oratorio with this Latinate precursor to the Lutheran splendors of Bach. Alessandro Scarlatti's Passion is definitively the product of the Neapolitan school, with its lively recitatives and colorful arias.

The rich orchestration and inventive expression characteristic of Scarlatti's operatic works is consistently present, while the evangelical characters are replaced by the allegorical Sin, Penitence, and Mercy, sung here by stars of the baroque firmament, Jaroussky, Prina, and Sabadus. Patrick Cohën‐Akenine leads his acclaimed period ensemble Les Folies Françoises in this rarely‐heard work.
