Cantatas for soprano, oboe concerto

Description

Johannes Pramsohler and his Ensemble Diderot, with their insatiable thirst for discovery, are once again focusing on an unknown composer: Giovanni Alberto Ristori, vice-"Kapellmeister" under Johann Adolf Hasse at the 3341348159805 monologues set to music in a sublime way by Ristori: Dido, desperate for having been abandoned by her lover, immolates herself by fire; Lavinia, forced to abandon her fiancé, ardently tries to explain her act; Nice, seized by hallucinations, holds Love responsible for her misdeeds. These three female symbols, carrying the music of an unjustly forgotten composer, are entrusted to the technique of a dazzling soprano and an early music ensemble on the rise. The grandiose oboe concerto will surely make its entrance into the repertoire of oboists. Born in Buenos Aires, Maria Savastano, described as "the best Argentinian hope for lyrical singing" by the newspaper La Nación, entered the Superior Institute of Arts at the Teatro Colón in 2001 and the Lyric Workshop of the Opéra National de Paris in 2006. In 2005, at just 22 years old, she won the First Prize at the International Competition "Neue Stimmen" in Gütersloh, Germany. In 2008 she made her debut at the Opéra Bastille in the role of Papagena under the direction of Thomas Hengelbrock. Since then, she has attracted attention for her interpretation of Mozart and Donizetti. Today highly sought after on the international music scene, she works with conductors such as Philippe Jordan, Emmanuelle Haïm, Paavo Järvi, Tomás Netopil, Jérémie Rhorer, and Andreas Spering. She regularly performs on the stages of the Opéra National de Paris, at the Teatro Real in Madrid, at the Teatro Colón, and at the operas of Lille, Dijon, Nancy, Saint-Étienne, and Rennes.
