5.0 out of 5 stars Outstanding, 19 Oct 2006
By Sigrid (Essex, UK) - See all my reviews
I was lucky enought to hear parts of this work on the radio and was so smitten that I bought the CD - despite never having heard of this composer before - what a discovery!

It has not disappointed! A wonderful piece of music, splendidly performed. The tunes are simply wonderful and the soloists shine. Catherine Bott (as Salome) and Richard Edgar-Wilson have some fine arias - just for example.

5.0 out of 5 stars Lively and colourful, 27 Aug 2004
By Dr. Ciaran Taylor (Dublin) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This deserves to be much better-known, and not because of Stradella's scandalous life (he was murdered in 1682 by thugs because of being amorously involved with a nobleman's mistress who he was meant to be teaching). It is a brilliantly colourful and dramatic work, telling the lurid story of the death of John the Baptist in a series of deliciously tuneful arias, with a few ensembles. The Baptist is sung by a counter-tenor (Lesne) and has some meltingly beautiful arias.

This CD won a Gramophone award in 1993 most deservedly, and anyone who has any liking for Baroque music should have it: for pure pleasure!
