AC Benus Posted June 23, 2017 Author Posted June 23, 2017 Finally!!! A staging of Cavalli that explores some of the awesome sensuality in every bar of his incredible stage music. This vid is tantamount to soft porn 2

Were they even allowed to imagine this in the seventeenth century? Incredible. 1

Sometime I'll post scenes from Calisto. So many sex scenes - including Jupiter seducing Calisto disguised as Diana. Also, one of the nymphs was written for a male tenor to perform; he's hot for Mercury. Edited June 23, 2017 by AC Benus 1

AC Benus Posted June 30, 2017 Author Posted June 30, 2017 @J.HunterDunn Something for your summer day, my friend. You should like the opening for sure Alessandro Scarlatti, Erminia, 1723 3
AC Benus Posted June 30, 2017 Author Posted June 30, 2017 (edited) @Lux Apollo This one's for you, Lux I'm not sure the performance is the best, but some of the arias are really interesting, like the first one. Let me know what you think. Nicola Fago, Cantate a Ariette, circa 1695 Edited June 30, 2017 by AC Benus 2

AC Benus Posted June 30, 2017 Author Posted June 30, 2017 (edited) @Parker Owens For you, this awesome recording of Josef Hoffman performing the Liszt piano transcription for Wagner Tannhäuser overture. It was recorded in 1915, but comes to life with each new unscrowling. Hope you like it (the playing starting at min 5:40 is fascinating....) Edited June 30, 2017 by AC Benus 1

AC Benus Posted July 2, 2017 Author Posted July 2, 2017 And one for myself This is the central ensemble from Paisiello's I Pittagorici, 1799. It's a really convincing performance - makes one remember why Paisiello was considered the world's greatest stage composer for most of Mozart's lifetime. 2

The music is definitely of quality, and a decent variety of gesture and idiom explored in the set. Fairly restrained harmonically, though there were a few interesting moments in some of the recitative. I wish I spoke Italian, because I feel like I'm definitely missing half the story just enjoying the music without understanding the speech. Very enjoyable, though. 2

I'm one of those guys who still thinks of Bo Derick and the movie 10 when I hear this.... Played it on TV when I was a kid....okay, when I was a teenager 2

AC Benus Posted July 7, 2017 Author Posted July 7, 2017 This is a lovely sounding instrument... Cristofori pianoforte, circa 1720 1
