CD Reviews

Delicious, addictive. If you only buy one A.S. oratorio...

(5 out of 5 stars)

"I'm a big fan of Scarlatti pere, but unfortunately other recordings of his oratorii I've heard are somewhat disjointed. This McGegan recording gets it right. According to the notes in the score (Editioni di Santis, Rome 1964; ed. Lino Bianchi) La Giuditta was considered Scarlatti's best oratorio. Who am I to argue? The singers are unfamiliar to me but are uniformly good. The arias are involving, almost catchy, and the recitations are not dull. I'm fairly addicted to this one, after having played the Lesne/Piau/Il Seminario Musicale Stabat Mater to death. I also recommend, though less heartily, A. Scarlatti's Il Primo Omicidio, cond. Rene Jacobs."
