Though other reviewers have already rightfully sung the praises of this production, I cannot stress its sheer magnificence enough.
Unusual opera with an interesting history.
This 2007 video of the oratorio by Landi had been recorded as CD by William Christie in 1996, with a soprano taking the role of the saint .
Musically this is a difficult work to critique.
This is a fantastic preformance of ancienne musique!
I am overjoyed by this DVD and it's production.
Saint Alexis was a Roman patrician of the 4th C AD, the only son of a Christian family served by 500 slaves.
This is a very good way to get into this masterwork from Landi.
This DVD is already available in Canada and I have watched it with ravishment.
This is scheduled for release on April 15, and I have rarely so anxiously awaited the arrival of any opera on DVD.
