I love the historical authenticity of this performance! The alto, mezzo-soprano, and soprano roles were originally sung by castrati. Countertenors are now the closest singers to them. Great video!

What an extraordinary performance! Although I am familiar with more standard baroque repertory, this was my first time listening to what must be regarded as a ground-breaking composition, with a very starry, extraordinarily talented, cast of all male singers playing the mezzo and soprano roles. Apart from Max Emmanuel Cencic, well known as a counter-tenor for many years, the other singers were all unknown to me. What voices and technique! What drama! A fiery dynamic performance of a baroque band of superb musicianship, conducted with real powerful energy and commitment. Certainly an unknown masterpiece emerging recently - but with a performance of this power, skill and commitment, it will rightly never be forgotten! Absolutely spell-binding!

Have a lookup for Maayan Licht the short soprano, the videos of him singing the Vinci opera are quite a sight!

Visceral, thrilling, mesmorizing, erotic. To all whom the videographer and sound engineer captured are to be thanked and congratulated. My life-long (80 yrs) love affair with opera culminates with this stellar performance. [Schwann AMS 4525 1981 faithfully follows IMSLP score] I cannot stay away from this youtube performance. Thanks to all commentators as well.

4th recording: schwann AMS 4525 (1981) faithfully follows IMSLP score. Maestro Chryssolis' production transcends, culminates my 80-year love affair with opera. Bravo to ALL captured by the videographer and sound engineer. I cannot stay away from this entrancing performance. Thank you.

The life of Stradella was quite well known because of his extraordinary life - involving a lot of violence -bit like the painter Caravaggio who came from approximately the same region. There have been novels written about him and there is actually a 19th century opera about his life.

Don’t let yourself be confused! Stradella had three first names: Antonio Alessandro Buoncompagno (“good compagnon”). What a nice choice of names!
