CD Reviews

A forgotten masterpiece

Anton Zimmerling | Moscow, Russia | 03/19/2009

(5 out of 5 stars)

"From all great composers Benedetto Marcello (1686-1739) is one of the most underrated and underrecorded ones. A compatriot and rival of Vivaldi, Benedetto Marcello was praised for his musical language - generally more strict and at times also more innotative than by Vivaldi - and for the density of his writing.

After having looked in vain for Marcello's beautiful Miserere, I discovered this wonderful CD. It is a reconstruction of Marcello's Venetian Requiem which was thought lost. Some of Marcello's survived pieces are written in an ascetic manner (a vocal line plus minimal instrumental support), but this one is a large-scale work where Marcello's rich fantasy and his sense of form correlate with a wide palette of orchestral and vocal resources.

The piece is gorgeous, if this term may be applied to religious music.

In addition, the conductor Filippo Maria Bressan performs 'Dulcis Jesu Mater Cara' and organ player Francesco Moi plays two organ sonatas in G minor(C. 736 & 737) by Marcello.

The conducting and singing is very fine. I don't know any other recording of this requiem.

It is sad that Benedetto Marcello should suffer from whims of music fashion in our day, when the CD market abounds with second-rate music from all epochs. Happily one still can buy this item and a few other CDs with Marcello's music.
