composed by Hildegard von Bingen

Composed in the mid twelfth century around the time Hildegard also began writing of her mystical visions, the hymns and sequences in her Symphoniae share the same poetic imagery and intensity of expression as her other religious writings.

composed by Antonio Vivaldi

Naïve continues its admirable series of complete recordings of Vivaldi's operas with Atenaide, an opera seria that was not successful at its 1728 premiere, and received no further performances during the composer's lifetime.

composed by François-Joseph Gossec

If the French Revolution hadn't turned into a bloodbath, if Napoleon hadn't turned into a tyrant, and if Austria, England, and Austria hadn't won the Napoleonic wars, François-Joseph Gossec might conceivably hold the same exalted position in music history that Beethoven does and his Le Triomphe de la République might possibly have the same high ...

Naïve's Aria d'Opera dal fondo Foà 28 gathers a number of singers in performances of pieces taken from the National Library of Turin's Vivaldi manuscript identified by its shelfmark as "Foà 28." This manuscript, assembled by Antonio Vivaldi himself, is a collection of 47 arias and ensemble pieces taken from various operas; it is so obscure that ...

composed by Andrea Falconieri, Biagio Marini, Dario Castello, Francesco Usper, Giovanni Gabrieli, Stefano Landi

The legend of Orfeo was the subject of at least five operas, including Monteverdi's masterpiece La Favola d'Orfeo, before the Roman composer Stefano Landi wrote his version in 1619. Unlike the earlier operas, Landi's focuses exclusively of the events following Orfeo's failed attempt to rescue Eurydice, and even though he is torn apart by the ...

DuMont: Motets pour la Chapelle du Roy was one of the very first discs Philippe Herreweghe did with La Chapelle Royale, in 1981; at that time, hardly anyone had ever heard of Henry du Mont, and his sacred music had never before been recorded with anything resembling period instruments or an appropriate style of singing. So upon first release, this ...
