Italy's Alessandro Stradella Consort, after recording works by Alessandro Scarlatti and other Italian Baroque composers, have turned back to their namesake with several impressive discs. Stradella's life was a dramatic one, containing sex and violence in equal measure, but some of the genres in which he worked have less prime-time appeal. This disc presents chamber vocal music Stradella wrote for his aristocratic patrons -- semi-dramatic works whose texts are both talky and stilted. Amanti, olà, olà is a setting of a sort of Platonic disputation on the nature of Love, featuring as characters Beauty, Courtesy, Fancy, Love itself, Discipline, Disenchantment, and two Academicians. The smaller three-part Chi resiste al Dio bendato treads similar territory, but Stradella doesn't let these abstract texts slow him down. His treatment of his small instrumental ensemble is extraordinarily atmospheric, and his moods are matched step for step by the Alessandro Stradella Consort under Estevan Velardi. Stradella perfected a dramatically effective type of vocal line that Handel must have known well, directly or indirectly. Sample track 38, Chi del bendato arcier schiavo fedel si trova (Those who find themselves faithful slaves of the blind archer) for an example of Stradella's ability to infuse real lackadaisical lovesickness into a conventional text, and also to hear the voice of soprano Rosita Frisani, the singer among Velardi's group who is most often featured here. It's effective if you've heard some Baroque-specialist singers before, but it may take some getting used to. The music and performances here aren't quite the revelation of those on the Stradella Consort's Vola, vola in altri petti recording, but they offer new illustrations of the unknown riches to be found in Stradella's music. Both the works here are receiving their premiere recordings. --- James Manheim, Rovi
