Alessandro Scarlatti, Europa Galante, Fabio Biondi - Humanitá E Lucifero Oratorio 1704
Review by Fort Philippe
The album Humanitá E Lucifero Oratorio 1704 by Alessandro Scarlatti, Europa Galante, and Fabio Biondi is a stunning tribute to the Italian composer's work. The album features a collection of oratorios that are both beautiful and haunting, showcasing Scarlatti's mastery of the Baroque style.
The performances by Europa Galante, a period-instrument ensemble led by conductor Fabio Biondi, are truly exceptional. The musicians bring Scarlatti's music to life with their precise and passionate playing, capturing the intricate details of each composition.
One of the standout tracks on the album is "Humanitá E Lucifero," a powerful oratorio that explores the battle between good and evil. The music is both grand and intimate, with soaring vocal lines and lush orchestration.
