About

“Carmelite Vespers 1709” presents a reconstruction of musical performances in Rome in 1709, based on a new critical edition by Italian Handel expert Angela Romagnoli.

In early 18th century-Rome the holiday of Madonna del Carmine was celebrated with a lavish musical pasticcio. Italian Early Music specialist Alessandro de Marchi, his Academia Montis Regalis and an excellent ensemble of solo vocalists present the reconstruction of such a service as it might have been performed in 1709 under the direction of Venetian master Antonio Caldara (1670–1736). The programme combines lesser-known but stunningly beautiful pieces by Caldara himself with famous motets by his predecessor Handel such as “Dixit Dominus” or “Laudate pueri”.

Italian conductor Alessandro De Marchi is one of today's leading specialists in the field of historic performing practice, on both original and modern instruments. His opera repertoire ranges from Monteverdi, Cavalli, Vivaldi and Handel through Keiser, Pergolesi and Hasse to works by Haydn, Mozart and Cimarosa. De Marchi also performs operas by Bellini, Rossini and Donizetti on original instruments, and sees these in a historic context between Baroque and Classical opera.

The stunning cast of top-league international Baroque singers includes Roberta Invernizzi, Robin Johannsen, Martin Oro, Markus Brutscher and Antonio Abete.

Reviews

August 2012

This recording epitomises early music at its best: discovered music, recovered insights and above all, excellent musicianship...the star of [Laetatus sum] is Roberta Invernizzi. Her tender passages ravish the ear; her coloratura fires the imagination; her blend with obbligato instruments is perfect; her extemporisations surprise and delight.

19th April 2012

It's all meticulously planned, but the performances wear that scholarship lightly; the lineup of soloists is a fine one...and Alessandro de Marchi's conducting is sparky and imaginative. For all the speculation involved, admirers of either composer will find the discs very rewarding.

28th April 2012

delivered with ebullient energy by Alessandro De Marchi's Academia Montis Regalis.

The Independent on Sunday 6th May 2012

Interpolated with plainchant, the psalms dovetail sweetly, the playing is supple, the choir bright, sopranos Roberta Invernizzi and Robin Johannsen delicious.
