Description:

An opera performed at the wedding celebrations of Philip IV of Spain (the Planet King and patron of the painter Velzquez) held in Brussels in 1650. Its music creates a versatile musical world that draws on the early Baroque Italian style while also echoing the styles of contemporaries such as Cavalli and Cesti. A masterful performance by Alarcn, an expert in Mediterranean early music, alongside a cast of renowned singers and a talented instrumental ensemble.Naxos Japan
