About

In the autumn of 2006, Fabio Bonizzoni and La Risonanza embarked on a journey taking a fresh look, musicologically as well as musically, at the chamber cantatas to Italian texts composed by Handel during his stay in Italy.
 
The first release on Glossa focused on works associated with Cardinal Pamphili in Rome. This new recording contains pieces that originated in the establishment of the Marquis Ruspoli, and written for the sopranos Margherita Durastante and Vittoria Tarquini. Here it is the Milanese soprano Emanuela Galli who takes centre stage: she also has taken on the role of Eurydice in Glossa's recent recording of Monteverdi's L'Orfeo directed by Claudio Cavina.
 
Roberta Invernizzi returns, joining forces with Galli, for Diana cacciatrice. Making use of recent research, the booklet notes (written by Karl Boehmer) help to illuminate Handel's sojourn in Italy in 1707 and the origins of the five cantatas recorded here.
