About
This is Scarlatti’s second Giuditta, of which neither the origin, nor the first performance is known. Written for three voices, strings and basso continuo it is known as the “Cambridge” Giuditta as its manuscript is housed by the Rowe Music Library of King’s College, Cambridge.
“What richness and sophistication in this almost Arcadian work […] The Ensemble Baroque de Nice and conductor Gilbert Bezzina underline its melodic opulence, let recitatives breathe […]” Olivier Rouvière – Diapason, May 2008
