About
Following the recent release of the opera 'Il Bajazet' by Francesco Gasparini, [Gramophone Editor's Choice] involving Auser Musici and Carlo Ipata, Glossa is pleased to bring back a recording from 2003 (previously issued by Symphonia) containing comic intermezzi from the same composer, and from the same director – already demonstrating a perfect understanding of the style of this contemporary of Handel. As well as 'Mirena e Floro' (first performed in Dresden in 1718), the recording includes 'Dori e Daliso', a cantata featuring violins and produced for the Roman palace of the Ruspolis two years beforehand.

Two delicious pastoral intermezzos from Rome (1716) and Dresden (1718) are given an animated, stylish performance despite lumpy interjections from the lute and Baroque guitar and occasionally astringent singing.
