Album information
Alessandro Stradella was a composer who led a dissolute life and ended up stabbed to death in Genoa; he nevertheless left a distinctive stamp on the history of music.
Stradella is situated at the intersection of several stylistic paths and periods, at the crossroads between opera and sacred drama, since his output, and especially San Giovanni Battista (St John the Baptist), marks the encounter of the great Roman oratorio inherited from Carissimi with the Venetian opera of Cavalli. Stradella is also close to the next generation, that of Scarlatti and Handel.
His music is characterised by liveliness, expressiveness and profound humanity. Although San Giovanni Battista enjoyed genuine success when it was premiered in 1675, it was only in 1949 that the work was exhumed from the libraries where its score lay slumbering. That event took place in Perugia, and the role of Salome was sung by Maria Callas. (after A. Surrans)

Reviews
'The highly dramatic content and quality of the music explain why this oratorio is one of the most famous works of the 17th century. It is no wonder that several recordings can be found in the catalog. The recently published one by Damien Guillon must be counted among the best.'
Toccata
'In short, this is an incisive interpretation of one of the masterpieces of the 17th century ... one of the best performances available.'
