The first work, ‘Qual prodigio è ch’io miri?’, is often cited, quite correctly, as a source for some of Handel’s ‘plague’ chorus melodies in ‘Israel in Egypt’ – including flies and lice, hailstones and ‘he led them forth like sheep’. But I imagine not all that many listeners will have heard Stradella’s original music, and hearing these passages in their original form is in itself a cause of fascination and delight; for a sample, try the Sinfonia (track 9). The work takes the form of a conversation between two male lovers and the female object of their affections, and is here sung by two sopranos and a bass. All three singers are excellent - as is the superb Alessandro Stradella Consort, directed by Estevan Velardi, who have already brought us several first-class recordings of Italian baroque music including other works by Stradella.
This is followed by a lively, melodically graceful Sonata with a brilliant trumpet part, and finally a second serenata in pastoral dialogue form, ‘Lasciate ch’io respiri’. Again this is lively, varied and full of great melodies, and sung by excellent soprano and bass soloists.
Every work and movement here by this superb Italian baroque master is beautiful, expressive and melodically engaging. It’s no wonder Handel was happy to pinch some of his tunes from Stradella. Moreover, Estevan Velardi and his ensemble have the full measure of this music and deliver it beautifully.–Stephen Midgley
