About

Alessandro Stradella was a highly influential composer in his day, producing an abundance of masterpieces despite his dissolute and dramatically brief life. Written for the lavish celebrations marking Leopoldo de' Medici being made a cardinal, La Circe is set near a fountain on the leafy slopes of Parnassus. It evokes the spirit of the sorceress Circe who, while searching for the grave of her son, is dazzled by a bright light – the presence of a Medici. Complete with echo effects and deliciously lyrical and expressive music, La Circe is both a fascinating enigma and a perfect example of aristocratic tastes in Baroque Rome. This double-CD set contains the unabridged version of La Circe I and the world première recording of La Circe II, and the booklet provides detailed notes. Played on period instruments.

Reviews

Nov/Dec 2021

The performance by the Stradella Consort is excellent, with good sense of phrasing and how the vocal and instrumental lines function together in this sort of mid-century Italian music. The sopranos all sing with a nice, clear tone, and bass Giuseppe Naviglio has a lighter baritone that fits the music well, particularly in the ensembles. In short, this is a fine disc and worthy of the composer.

January 2023

Leslie Visco (Circe), Anna Chierichetti (Zephyrus) and Giuseppe Naviglio (Algidus) are in excellent form and are also stylistically convincing. These two pieces are very entertaining, and their recording is well deserved. They prove that Stradella was an outstanding composer for the voice...and had a good sense for drama.

April 2022

Elegance extends to Velardi’s way with rhythm and tempo: he never hustles this delicate music, while keeping the short vocal ensembles alert…an enticing enchantment for Stradella’s growing band of captives.
