ALESSANDRO SCARLATTI (1660-1725): Davidis pugna et victoria.

Description: This David-and-Goliath setting is Scarlatti's only surviving Latin oratorio, written for a particular Roman fraternity of nobility probably between 1679 and 1682. Strong musical characterization of the three main characters - David, Jonathan and Goliath - and vividly written choruses make time fly in this thoroughly enjoyable example of the genre. Latin-English texts. Roberta Invernizzi, Robin Johannsen (sopranos), Martin Oro (countertenor), Fredrik Akselberg (tenor), Antonio Abete (bass), Academia Montis Regalis; Alessandro De Marchi.
