Excerpt:Pria ch'adori

Celebrated for his operatic production in Rome, Venice and Vienna, Cesti was also one of the most popular composer of vocal chamber music of the time. His cantatas, most of them ‘Canzoni amorose’, are made of suave vocality, and a rich expression of ardour and tenderness.

This title was released for the first time in 1982.
