| Le Cantate Italiane di Handel VII Napoli, 1708-Hannover,1710 LaRisonanza: Andrea Mion, Elisabeth Baumer, oboe; Marco Brolli, traverse; Dana Karmon, bassoon; Nicholas Robinson, Silvia Colli, Ana Liz Ojeda, Carlo Lazzaroni, Rossella Borsoni, Barbara Altobello, violins; Gianni de Rosa, viola; Caterina Dell’Agnello, Marco Testori, cello; Nicola Barbieri, double bass. Fabio Bonizzoni, harpsichord & directrion For the final volume in Fabio Bonizzoni’s survey of cantatas written by Georg Friedrich Handel during his stay in Italy, the background scenery moves – like a reflection of the Grand Tour – from Rome to Naples; probably the troubled times in a Rome besieged by Imperial troops during the War of the Spanish Succession may have encouraged the young, itinerant Saxon musician to consider that heading down south was safer and more conducive for his overall career prospects. Carlo Vitali’s engaging booklet essay colourfully helps to summon up early 18th century Neapolitan culture and Handel’s potential place within it. |
