Alessandro Stradella: Santa Pelagia

PRODUKTBESCHREIBUNGEN
KURZBESCHREIBUNG
Verführerische Pelagia



In der vierten Folge des Stradella-Projekts stellt das Ensemble Mare Nostrum unter Andrea de Carlo das Oratorium Santa Pelagia vor, das von einer syrischen Tänzerin handelt, die den Versuchungen des Teufels widerstehen muss. Äußerst verführerisch gestaltet Roberta Mameli die Titelrolle, auch die übrigen Gesangssolisten glänzen in ihren Partien. Besonders das Ende des Oratoriums überrascht.



With this fourth instalment of the Stradella Project, Andrea De Carlo and Ensemble Mare Nostrum continue their exploration of the oratorio output, following the recent rediscoveries of San Giovanni Crisostomo and Santa Editta. A pretty dancing-girl at the imperial court of Antioch in Syria, Pelagia, is the object of rivalry between an evil angel, Mondo (the World), urging her to enjoy life to the full before old age destroys her beauty, and Bishop Nonno of Edessa, who with the help of a good angel, Religione, invites her to a life in the service of God. Pelagia succumbs to the flattery offered by Mondo, but just as the latter is celebrating his victory, she retires unexpectedly to a lonely cave in the wilderness where she can dedicate the rest of her life to the loving service of God. Stradella cannot resist revealing his point of view about this sudden change, giving the oratorio a surprise ending. Soprano Roberta Mameli offers us a complex and seductive portrayal of the title role, surrounded by a distinguished cast including Sergio Foresti as Mondo, Raffaele Pe as Religione and Luca Cervoni as Nonno.As in previous installments, recording was made within the framework of the Alessandro Stradella International Festival in Nepi, the composer's birthplace.









REZENSION
Alessandro Stradella gilt den Italienern als ihr 'Vater des Barock'. Jetzt hat das Ensemble Mare Nostrum sein Oratorium Santa Pelagia erstmals in seiner ursprünglichen Form eingespielt.
