Where
next for Claudio Cavina and La Venexiana after their exhilarating run
of recordings of Monteverdi madrigals, operas and much more? One route
is proving to be in the direction of Francesco Cavalli, the 17th century
composer who spent much of his working life in Venice, starting off as a
chorister in St Mark's Basilica when Monteverdi himself was in charge.
Although Cavalli has been known as a composer of Venetian seicento
sacred music, it is his prolific contribution in the field of opera
where he became one of the leading figures involved in the development
of commercial opera companies from the 1640s onwards - that has been
receiving greater attention from artists in more recent times. And it is
with a dramma per musica in Artemisia from the mid 1650s, with its tale
of love, deceit and honour and the upholding of the virtues of the
Venetian Republic (all this richly captured by the expressive style of
Cavalli), that Cavina has chosen to contribute to that fresh look at
Cavalli's music on this new recording from Glossa.
Singers in the established style of La Venexiana, including the vocal star of 'Round M, Roberta Mameli and, recent finalist in the Handel Singing Competition, Francesca Lombardi Mazzulli (who takes the role of the love-torn Queen Artemisia, a character strong enough to drink her dead husband's ashes...) give vent to this glorious display of Venetian operatic splendour.
