Description: Here's a composer execrated by history because his brother worked as a spy for Louis XIV and did enough that a series of current (I mean, now... today) novels about him led the Vatican to proscribe their Italian authors (what did this guy do back in the 17th century?). Anyway, back from centuries of oblivion, here are a 36-minute dramatic setting of the Europa myth and three sacred works from a gifted and neglected Roman baroque composer. Italian-English texts. Veronika Winter, Cornelia Samuelis (sopranos), Kai Wessel (altus), BenoƮt Haller (tenor), Ekkehard Abele (bass), Das Kleine Konzert; Hermann Max.
