Synopsis

Album Description
The year 2005 marked the 400th anniversary of the birth of Giacomo Carissimi (1605-1674), one of the leading composers of the early Italian Baroque, exceeded in fame only by Monteverdi himself. Carissimi was particularly admired for his oratorios. His entire artistic legacy would have been lost when the Jesuit College in Rome was looted in 1773, if copies had not been kept by his pupils ? more than two generations of prominent musicians who had made his works and his style known in Italy and the world.
