He studied music under Giovanni Paolo Colonna, music director of the Basilica of San Petronio in Bologna. In 1687, he composed his first oratorio. His numerous chamber cantatas were published and spread his fame not only in Italy but also in France and England. In Rome, while in the service of the Colonna family, he began to compose operas. After a stint at the court of Vienna, Bononcini moved to London in 1720, where he was received with great enthusiasm by his audiences.Astarte,\" based on the love and power struggle over the marriage of the queen of the kingdom of Tyrus, was first performed in Rome in 1715, and was a popular work that was performed many times afterward, becoming Bononcini's crowning achievement as an opera composer. He chose \"Astarte\" for the London debut of Senesino, who was a rare castrato of great renown, and made major revisions to the recitative, arias, and orchestration, as well as to the libretto, to make it \"an opera for Senesino\". The new \"Astarte\" was chosen for its debut. The new \"Astarte\" was performed at the King's Theatre in London on November 19, 1720, to rapturous acclaim, and was performed 24 more times.\n\nThis recording is a live recording of the performance at the Innsbruck Festival of Old Music, using the latest critical revision based on the 1720 performance. Francesca Asciotti, who sings Crearco, is a gem of a singer, having studied with Teresa Berganza. She has performed mainly in baroque operas around the world and has been praised for her overwhelming singing ability.Here, too, Senesino delivers a beautifully crafted aria, tailored to highlight her voice. Dara Savinova, a talented Estonian singer, sings Elisa, played by Margherita Durastanti, one of Handel's favorite sopranos of the time. She expresses the noble queen with her powerful voice.\n\n(1\/2)\n\nNaxos Japan\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"CPO","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51868432695585,"sku":"4589538826833","price":4200.0,"currency_code":"PHP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0568\/8482\/2076\/files\/4589538826833.jpg?v=1759230257","url":"https:\/\/cdsvinyljapan.com\/en-ph\/products\/4589538826833","provider":"CDs Vinyl Japan Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
