Harmonices Mundi; Claudio Astronio Stradella: San Giovanni Crisostomo (CD) NEW

Description: NEW SEALED CDThe music by Alessandro Stradella (16391682) is gaining rapidly in recognition and popularity. The composers extremely adventurous life (he was an aristocratic ladykiller, who himself was murdered in the end by a revengeful rival) and his equally adventurous music presents a forceful image of a fascinating and important figure of the Italian Baroque. Stradella is one of the most important composers of dramatic sacred works in 17th century Italy. San Giovanni Crisostomo is a large scale oratorio, in lyrical vocal style: long and florid cantabile phrases, uninterrupted by frequent cadences and a subtle characterisation of the psychology of the dramatis personae. Excellent performances by Harmonices Mundi conducted by Claudio Astronio, who already recorded three Stradella CDs for Brilliant classics: the oratorio La Susanna (BC94345), Duets (with Emma Kirkby and Susanne Rydén, BC94343) and Italian Arias (BC94258). The booklet contains extensive liner notes written by a scholar, and the full libretto in the original language.Track Listings1Chi 'L Freno Non Regge2Nel Regio Trono Di Bisanzio Assisa3Rei Timori, Perché a Stuolo4Ma Quai Folli Deliri5Se Teme Chi Regna6Sì Mal Nati Consigli7Se Le Mal Corrette Voglie8Par Che Gelida Tema9Benché Audace Sia 'L Desire10Crisostomo S'appelli11Talor - Giammai Si Cade12Eudosia, Ah, Non Son Io?13Fugge Il Dì, Fugge La Vita14Forse Non Si Rammenta15Ogni Regno Diviso Sen Va16Non Vil Capanna17Regio Cor D'ardimento18La Morte N'addita19Invano, Invan Si Tenta20Alme Ree, Turba Mendace21Della Vita Il Fragil Legno22Tu Forse Il Patrio Lito23Fra Procelle La Nave Perì24Su, Tacete, Tacete!25Chi Col Picciolo Serpent26Non Causi Anco Pensiero!27Tu Che Sei Di VeritÃ28Ascolta, Eudosia, Ascolta29Su, Destati, Oh Sdegno!30Atto Sempre Non È D'alma Clemente31Benché Giuste Tempra L'ire32Crisostomo, Deh, Ascolta33Qual Vago Candour34Dal Real Trono Lunge35È Sì Bella La Luce Del Dì36Poi Ch'a Sponde Remote37Già Placata Ogni Procella38Al Tuo Merto, Alta Reina39D'obbedirti Il Fato Ambisce40Vive Eudosia Tra Fasti41Giocondo Nel Mondo42Sperano Indarno Gl'empi
