Steffani: Danze e Overtures

Steffani: Danze e Overtures

The inspired conductor of Mission directs an album of music from Steffanis operas as a companion release to Cecilia Bartolis Stabat Mater.

Mission created great interest in the music of little-known Italian composer Agostino Steffani (1654 1728). Fasoliss conducting thrust him into the spotlight as one of the most dynamic baroque interpreters working today. The variety of styles in Steffanis music continues to surprise. With 43 great tracks of enchanting early-baroque music this collection is set to be another revelation.

In his time, Steffani was universally admired for his opera music, and much of the appeal of the works lies in the beauty of his orchestration. The disc opens with seven pieces from his celebrated Orlando and goes on to offer a sparkling array of preludes, gavottes, gigues, airs and much more besides from a wide range of his operatic work.

Diego Fasolis draws sparkling performances from period specialists I Barocchisti in music of a composer whose rediscovery is one of the great finds of our time.
