The Virgin of Sorrows Oratorio for four voices after La Vergine addolorata c reated in Salerno in 1717

Production Teatro San Carlo in Naples

I kiss you, oh beloved face that made me happy. Here you are extinguished and become my martyrdom.
The Virgin of Sorrows - Mary, Part Two

If La Vergine dei dolori , a major score by the prolific Alessandro Scarlatti, was a great success when it was premiered in 1717, it is because of its obvious musical richness, combining arias filled with emotion, particularly expressive recitatives and accompaniments by a noble sobriety. Drawing this pearl from oblivion, Rinaldo Alessandrini gives it a deep mystical breath, illustrated — like a tableau vivant — by Ingrid von Wantoch Rekowski. Also this exciting oratorio imposes itself as an “essential” of Marian music. Duration: about 2 hours

English

La Vierge des douleurs Oratorio à quatre voix d’après La Vergine addolorata créé à Salerno en 1717

Production Teatro San Carlo de Naples

Je t’embrasse, ô visage aimé qui faisait ma joie. Te voici éteint et devenu mon martyre.
La Vierge des douleurs - Marie, Deuxième partie

Si La Vergine dei dolori, partition majeure du prolixe Alessandro Scarlatti, obtînt un vif succès lors de sa création en 1717, c’est en raison de son évidente richesse musicale conjuguant arias emplis d’émotion, récitatifs particulièrement expressifs et accompagnements d’une noble sobriété. Tirant cette perle de l’oubli, Rinaldo Alessandrini lui donne un souffle mystique profond, illustré — à la manière d’un tableau vivant — par Ingrid von Wantoch Rekowski. Aussi ce passionnant oratorio s’impose-t-il comme un « incontournable » de la musique mariale. Durée : environ 2 heures
