 Antonio
Caldara. Maddalena ai piedi di Cristo (c. 1710). Harmonia
Mundi HMC 905221/22 (2 CDs 1996). René Jacobs, Orchestre de la
Schola Cantorem Basiliensis. Chiara Banchini, concert master.
Maddalena: Maria Cristina Kiehr, soprano; Marta: Rosa Domínguez,
soprano; Amor terreno: Bernarda Fink, contralto; Amor celeste:
Andreas Scholl, countertenor; Cristo: Gerd Türk, tenor; Fariseo:
Ulrich Messthaler, bass. Superb recording -- one of my all time
favorites! The libretto originally set by Giovanni Bononcini in
1690 was extensively revised for Caldara, adding 16 arias and a
new character, Marta. WARNING: Avoid the cheap reissue,
HMX 290 5221/2, as the libretto was omitted by harmonia mundi to
save a few cents. Perhaps the savings will add up to a bottle of
overpriced French wine for harmonia mundi's President, but
deceitful tactics such as this will only encourage potential
consumers to make CD-R copies. Once they invest in CD-R drives,
they'll copy everything -- for 20 cents per blank CD -- rather
than continuing to pay the artificially high prices fixed by the
record industry. (The BMG record club edition is identical to
the original issue and includes the libretto.)
The Andreas Scholl Society has posted scans of the libretto
online. See the
following message on the Andreas Scholl Society Yahoo! Group
for interesting information about the recording.
