Description: Four examples of the fascinating world of the Italian chamber cantata for voice, continuo and solo violin where the unusual scoring produces an intimacy of sound and variety of timbre, as well as great attention to the individual melodic lines, aspects that more rarely emerge in pieces composed for more substantial forces. Italian-English texts. Giuseppina Bridelli (mezzo), Quartetto Vanvitelli.
