This first modern critical edition of Esule dalle sfere (1690)
exhibits Stradella's architectural genius and sensitive treatment of
text. Vocal instrumental forces include two soloists, a four-voice
chorus, violin, and continuo. The edition contains an English
translation of the libretto, historical background and commentary, a
discussion of performance problems, and a comparison of the two
manuscript sources on which the edition was based.
Originally published in 1983.
