Among Pasquini’s surviving cantatas, the six scored for solo bass stand out, for their keen sense of theatre and expressive rhetoric. They take Biblical history, tales of Roman history and pastoral-erotic tropes for their subjects, and they are imaginatively presented here as a cycle, interleaved with pieces for harpsichord, as though recreating a refined evening of music-making at a Roman palazzo around the turn of the 18th century.
Capella Tiberina is led in these stylish accounts by the harpsichordist Alessandra Nigito, who has made a particular study of Pasquini’s vocal music and edited several of his cantatas for modern publication (for the first time since they were composed). There is no more authoritative current exponent of this music, and she is joined here by other experienced performers on Italy’s rich early-music scene.
Bernardo Pasquini (1637-1710) was an Italian composer of opera and church music. A renowned virtuoso keyboard player in his day he was one of the most important Italian composers for harpsichord and organ between Frescobaldi and Scarlatti.
Among the more than seventy cantatas that have come down to us by Pasquini a small corpus of six cantatas for solo voice for bass and basso continuo stand out. Pasquini had entered the service of Giovanni Battista Borghese in 1667. He wrote these cantatas for the famous bass Francesco Verdone (ca. 1630-1694), who was also in the Borghese household. The cantata L’ombra di Solimano (‘The Shadow of Suleiman’) refers to the capitulation of the Turkish army besieged in Buda through the lament of the spectre of Sultan Suleiman I, who had conquered the city in 1541.
In between the cantatas this recording presents shorter works for harpsichord solo, written in Italian style, with the emphasis on melody and cantilena.
The bass Lisandro Abadie was born in Buenos Aires, Argentina, where he began his musical studies. He graduated at the Schola Cantorum Basiliensis and the Musikhochschule Luzern. He has sung under the direction of William Christie, Philippe Herreweghe, Tõnu Kaljuste, Jordi Savall, Paul Agnew, Paul Goodwin, Giovanni Antonini, Fabio Bonizzoni, Skip Sempé, Hervé Niquet, among others.
Capella Tiberina was founded by Alexandra Nigito in order to blend a passion for early music with a rigorous approach to musicological research. Capella Tiberina specializes in the Italian Baroque repertoire, with a special emphasis on music originating in Rome. Among its recordings for Brilliant Classics are Bernardo Pasquini’s Passion Cantatas, Francesco Mancini’s Recorder Concertos, Alessandro Scarlatti’s Sinfonie di concerto grosso, and Domenico Scarlatti’s Violin Sonatas. Capella Tiberina performs on historical instruments.
