) | Label: CPO Catalog: 777806-2 Format: CD Bernsteiner; Ferri-Benedetti; Pfeifer; Bellotto; Il Gusto Barocco; HalubekComposed by: Brescianello, Giuseppe A. G. Brescianello’s (1690-1758) Tisbe, based on the popular tale of Pyramus and Thisbe, was the result of a commission from the Duke Eberhard IV Ludwig of Württemberg to his court composer to write a work to conclude the Carnival season 1718/19. Il Giusto Barocco rediscovered the opera in the Württemberg State Library, submitted it to musicological scrutiny, and rendered it once again performable. “Jörg Halubek and Il Giusto Barocco…demonstrate they now have a place in the first ranks of German baroque orchestras.” (Opernwelt, following the 2012 concert premiere)  Price: $48.98 |
