Ensemble Locatelli – Francesco Cavalli: Missa A 8 Voci Concertata Con [CD]

Description

As a boy, Francesco Cavalli was a member of San Marco Basilica’s Chapel, then directed by Claudio Monteverdi, from whom he probably received tuition. In time Cavalli’s fame as an operatic composer spread across Europe and he succeeded Monteverdi in San Marco to reach the apex of success in Venice. He also wrote sacred music, published in two great printed collections. The first collection, published in 1656, contains his Missa a 8 voci Concertata, an imposing and magnificent work of exceptional complexity for eight soloists, two four-voiced choirs and many instrumentalists. In this recording it is performed in the context of an All Saints’ Day liturgy by Ensemble Locatelli, directed by Cavalli scholar, Bruno Gini.
