CARLO RAINALDI (1611-1691): Cantate e Duetti, Vol. 3 - Con lusinghe di sirena, Di’. Mio cor, Non replicarmi, Amor: io son tradito, Oh sentite che disgrazia, Pupillette, ben si avvede, Deh, lasciatemi in preda al mio tormento, Occhi belli, s’io v’adoro, Siunger Gudi gladliga (Exsultate Deo).

Description: Over 21 years ago, we said this about the second volume of Rainaldi’s compositions: “A Roman architect whose musical compositions are recorded here for the first time, Rainaldi wrote closely in style to Rossi and Carissimi but is distinguished by the employment of most of the musical figures of Baroque rhetoric including daring modulations and unexpected and harsh dissonances.” No texts. Arianna Miceli, Marika Spadafino (sopranos), Antonio Orsini (tenor), RomaBarocca Ensemble. Lorenzo Tozzi (harpsichord).
