Giovanni Alberto Ristori: Missa/Litaniae/Miserere

Giovanni Alberto Ristori was the son of the Italian actor Tomaso Ristori and came to the Saxon court in Dresden when his father found employment there as the director of the Italian acting company. Giovanni Ristori was regarded as a talented composer, pianist, and organist, and obtained the post of compositeur with the Italian court acting company in 1717. He later received the posts of chamber organist in 1733, church composer in 1746, and the Dresden courts assistant chapel master under Johann Adolph Hasse in 1750. Unfortunately, more famous names, like Jan Dismas Zelenka and Johann Adolph Hasse, currently obscure Ristoris contributions in the publics perception of the Saxon court ensemble in the eighteenth century. All three works not only are able to contribute to the vindication of a composer who has been particularly hard hit by the loss of primary sources but also demonstrate the high level of the musical everyday at the Dresden court church.
