Mozaïque

Vienna may have been the heart of the Habsburg Empire, but Italian music was predominant at court. When Antonio Caldara became Deputy Kapellmeister there in 1717, he also imported the Roman cantata style. In these miniature dramas of love and jealousy, nymphs and shepherds populate an Arcadian landscape, and every aria opens a new chapter of longing. Chloé de Guillebon is a rising star as a harpsichordist, conductor, and ensemble leader, and the ideal interpreter for Caldara’s refined theatre.
