5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent rediscovery, 23 Oct 2004
As we had the chance to hear in concert in Italy twice in 2003, the excellent rediscovery of this oratorium by Antonio Frige' is a really must in any respectable baroque cd collection.
This oratiorio by the roman author Bernardo Gaffi is an interesting chain ring in between the ancient roman school and the beginning of the italian opera style: Gaffi seems to be a very cultivated composer, which knows very well counterpoint and who is capable of forging a style that looks towards the future, without forgetting the past.
The intersting realisation of the continuo part in the recitatives (a different instrument is accompained to any character) shows the use of ha Baroque harp as a plucked instrument (instead of the more common theorbo or lute) and gives to Divine Love (Amor Divino) a touch of heaven.
The vocal performance is interesting as well, due to the different characters of the voices: Leona Peleskova has a deep velvet voice (maybe a bit lyric-oriented), while Marivi Blasco shows a glazing baroque timbre that makes her able to fly over the instruments (and we have to notice even her care and fantasy in improvising cadenzas and embellishments). Sergio Foresti is surely a name which does not need to be introduced; his performance is clear and quite remarkable as well.
The ensemble Pian & Forte has recorded more or less 20 records, all under the remarkable conduction of its founder Antonio Frigè, which delivers a precise performance, filled with precious details and nice surprises, always respecting the canons of a correct historically informed praxis. Maybe the best peculiarity of this record is in the light that shines all over it, a light that is really at home in baroque music, and which is too often hidden by an excessive virtuosity and somewhat violence by some period instruments ensembles.
A must-have, definitively.
