Leonardo Vinci - Ataserse


"The opera libretto 'Artaserse' (Artaxerxes) by Pietro Metastasio was the hit of the 18th century opera seria. It was set more than 40 times, including once in English (by Thomas Arne), and its popularity lasted into the 19th century. The opera by Leonardo Vinci recorded here, however, was the very first one, dating from 1730. It's easy to see even at this late date why Metastasio's libretto appealed to opera composers and operagoers so much. The story, concerning the Persian king Xerxes' son Artaxerxes I (based very loosely on actual events), features royal pomp, young love, betrayal, tragic self-sacrifice, and, to top it all off, a happy ending. Musically the opera is odd by present-day standards; it called for an all-male cast, women being banned from Roman theaters at the time. The cast consisted of five castrati, sung here by countertenors, and one tenor, the villain Artabano. It's a big work, with sober processionals and spectacular arias for almost all the characters. French countertenor Philippe Jaroussky has never been in better voice, but the performance is equally notable for introducing some lesser-known countertenors, such as the creamy-voiced Valer Barna-Sabadus as Semira, Artaserse's frustrated lover. It's not until now, as a matter of fact, that a critical mass of countertenors has been available to perform music of this difficulty, and the results are worth hearing on several levels. Slowly but surely, the history of opera in the 18th century is being rewritten." (Review by James Manheim for AllMusic. See here.)

Leonardo Leo - Diana Amante


"Leonardo Leo, in full Leonardo Ortensio Salvatore de Leo, also spelled Lionardo Ortensio Salvatore di Leo, Ortensio sometimes given as Oronzo, (born August 5, 1694, San Vito degli Schiavi, near Brindisi, Kingdom of Naples [Italy]—died October 31, 1744, Naples), composer who was noted for his comic operas and who was instrumental in forming the Neapolitan style of opera composition.

"Leo entered the Conservatorio della Pietà dei Turchini at Naples in 1709, where his earliest known work, a sacred drama, 'L'infedeltà Abbattuta', was performed by his fellow students in 1712. In 1714 he produced an opera, 'Il Pisistrato', for the court theatre. He later held various posts at the royal chapel and taught at the conservatory. His operas include 'La 'mpeca scoperta' (1723), a comic opera in Neapolitan dialect; and 'Demofoonte' (1735) and 'L'Olimpiade' (1737), both serious operas. Leo is probably best remembered for the comic opera 'Amor vuol sofferenze' (1739). His sacred works include six or seven oratorios, of which 'Santa Elena al Calvario' (1732) was particularly esteemed; six masses; and a 'Miserere' (1739) for double choir. He also wrote instrumental works, among them six concerti for cello and strings, organ fugues, and harpsichord toccatas. Leo's serious operas suffer from a coldness and severity of style, but in his comic operas he shows a keen sense of humour." (Biography of the composer from the Encyclopedia Britannica. See here.)
