Cavalieri: Rappresentazione Di Anima E Di Corpo

Overview

The Italian composer Emilio de' Cavalieri penned La Rappresentazione di Anima e di Corpo (Representation of the Body) in February 1600, inadvertently creating history's first oratorio. In recent years, a manuscript surfaced, authored by de' Cavalieri and dated September 1600 -- in which the composer lists out specific instructions for a performance of the work. The home-video release La Rappresentazione di Anima e di Corpo offers a live record of a performance tailored to de' Cavalieri's notes -- held in Rome, Italy, in the Basilica San Paolo Fuori Le Mura. Soprano Cecilia Gasdia, baritone Furio Zanasi, Roberto Staccioli, Massimo Rossetti, Stefano Cucci, and Lucilla Tomino perform alongside the Roma Barocca Ensemble and the Symphonic Opera Choir of Rome, as directed by Lorenzo Tozzi.
