De Rossi & Caresan... - Cappella Musicale Santa Maria In Campitelli - Audio CD (Arrives in 50 days)

The Cappella musicale di Santa Maria in Campitelli, conducted by Maestro Vincenzo Di Betta, who has already been responsible for significant recording revivals such as Orazio Benevoli’s “Missa in angustia pestilentiæ” (TC600201), Bonaventura Rubino's “Messa de’ Morti” (TC601803), and Francesco Giovannini’s “Messa à Quattro ” (TC700703), is now engaged in this new and notably interesting musical production. This rediscovery focuses on two sacred oratorios from the seventeenth century by two authors active in the Neapolitan orbit: Francesco Nicolò de Rossi, a priest of Apulian origin, and Cristoforo Caresana, of Venetian origin and formerly the organist of St. Mark’s Basilica. The two works – performed with the ensemble's customary expertise – are interspersed with an instrumental battle piece by Andrea Falconieri, composed in the spirit of that Baroque theatricality which is the main ingredient of these works and of the sacred musical masterpieces of the seventeenth century.
