In 1729, nobleman and poet Annibale Marchese (1686-1753) published Tragedie Cristiane, a remarkable collection of ten Italian-language plays. Drawing on the influences of Racine, Corneille, Voltaire, and classical tradition, these innovative dramas are deeply rooted in Jesuit theatrical practices. To realise his vision, Marchese enlisted ten of the most accomplished composers of his time-masters of the so-called Neapolitan School. Their strophic arias, often featuring obbligato harpsichord, vividly reflect each composer's unique style. This recording also includes previously unknown instrumental dances from contemporary Jesuit stage productions.

Tracks:
1.1 Fanfarde nouvelle
3.26 Menuet IV
