Mauro Borgioni, Alessio Tosi, Allabastrina, Elena Sartori – Rossi – L’Orfeo (2021) [FLAC 24bit/96kHz]

Today’s music lovers associate L’Orfeo first and foremost with Claudio Monteverdi’s famous opera from 1607, while the version by Luigi Rossi, premiered four decades later, has remained less well-known. Rossi had served as a musician first for the noble families Borghese and Barberini in Florence and Rome, respectively, before he moved to France in 1646, where he became the most respected composer at the court of Cardinal Mazarin. His L’Orfeo, with a libretto by Francesco Buti, was premiered on 2 March 1647 at the Théâtre du Palais-Royal in Paris. It was one of the first operas ever performed in France. The premiere was magnificently staged, full of great sets and machinery, with over 200 people employed to work on the scenery. The performance lasted about six hours and was a great success for Rossi.

Thirty years after the first recording by Les Arts Florissants and William Christie, Elena Sartori and her ensemble Allabastrina present now the second recording of this opera. The total playing time is slightly under four hours, almost Wagnerian proportions. Sartori uses exclusively Italian forces (17 solo singers and choristers), with the Baroque experts Francesca Lombardi Mazzulli (Orfeo) and Emanuela Galli (Euridice) in the main roles.

“After the recordings under William Christie and Raphaël Pichon, Glossa now presents this new recording of Rossi’s opera L’Orfeo under Elena Sartori. Cardinal Mazarin had commissioned it in 1647 from Rossi in order to introduce the French royal court to the genre of Italian opera. Rossi’s adaptation of the Orfeo material is initially about Orfeo, Euridice and Aristeos, who seeks to prevent the union of the two lovers. Since the young woman and her lover stick together despite all attempts by Aristeos to destroy their love, the rival has her killed by a snake bite. In the third act, he is driven to madness and suicide. Afterwards, Orfeo is supposed to bring Euridice out of the underworld and fails, as is common knowledge. Rossi has endowed his opera with a lush plot in which gods, graces and parcae play an important role. Elena Sartori exerts a tense grip on the music and gives it immediate impact thanks to a good and committed ensemble of soloists. The singing – both solo and ensemble – is excellent throughout, with very characterful interpretations that help the listener follow the action without constantly looking at the libretto. And so this is a very good performance (and recording) of a work that really deserves to be better known.” (Norbert Tischer, pizzicato.lu)
