The World’s First Recording of the Masterpiece “The Great Flood,” Depicting Noah’s Flood!\nThis new recording is a must-listen for fans of Baroque vocal music. Michelangelo Farvetti (1642–1692) was a composer born in Palermo, Sicily. In 1682, he was appointed music director at the cathedral in Messina, a port city on the island’s eastern coast, and *The Great Flood* premiered there that same year. “The Great Flood” refers, of course, to the flood famous from the Old Testament story of Noah’s Ark; this work is a type of oratorio based on a religious theme. However, the music—strongly imbued with the spirit of southern Italy—is free of any stuffy, sacral air and possesses a bright, crystalline beauty. Furthermore, Falvetti predates the elder Scarlatti by two generations and still bears strong traces of the styles of Monteverdi and Cavalli. The libretto consists of four parts: Part 1, “In Heaven”; Part 2, “On Earth”; Part 3, “The Flood”; and Part 4 “On Noah’s Ark.” Anyone familiar with the story of Noah’s Ark will be able to follow the narrative.\nAralcon, whose recording of Handel’s *Judas Maccabaeus* (AMY024) was very well received, once again delivers a splendid performance brimming with Latin flavor. Taking into account that traces of Islamic culture still lingered in Sicily at the time, Aralcon masterfully incorporates Arabic percussion instruments to tremendous effect. The singers are also outstanding. Please enjoy Falvetti’s wonderful music, of which there are very few other recordings!\nKing International\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTracklisting:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.Il Diluvio Universale: 1.
