RECORDING INFORMATION Rome at the dawn of the 18th Century... The eagerly anticipated new album from Cecilia Bartoli The rediscovery of a lost musical world of arias from the 'Forbidden Operas' of Handel, Scarlatti and Caldara Cecilia Bartoli celebrates a unique period in the musical history of her home City of Rome Showpiece arias from three of the most acclaimed composers of the Baroque 8 World Premiere Recordings of arias by Alessandro Scarlatti and Antonio Caldara Outstanding accompaniment from Marc Minkowski and Les Musiciens du Louvre When the young Handel arrived in Rome in the early years of the 18th Century he was one of many outstanding musicians and artists who made their home in the Holy City. On this long awaited new album, Cecilia Bartoli uncovers the glories of oratorios written in Rome at a time when opera performance was forbidden by the Church. Although many of these arias are written for female characters, public performances by female singers were also forbidden, so the roles were often sung by male castrati.
