About
In his time Alessandro Scarlatti was more famous as an opera composer than that of sacred music. His liturgical compositions display a wide stylistic breadth ranging from stile antico works to very modern works departing from the traditions of his times. In this respect – in his employment of all the styles of sacred music – Scarlatti is very reminiscent of Bach.
This new disc presents the premiere recording of his Benedicta et venerabilis es alongside other sacred works.

Awards and reviews
March 2011
Bertagnolli and Mingardo sing concertante parts spiritedly, with the other four singers forming a sensitive ripieno chorus; the effect is splendid in fast much but especially beguiling in the slow contrapuntal chorus "Qui manducatis"...Highly recommended.
