Renowned in his day as a virtuoso keyboard player, Bernardo Pasquini (1637-1710) was the most important Italian composer of keyboard music between Frescobaldi and Domenico Scarlatti. In that capacity, his output has been surveyed by Brilliant Classics with authoritative collections of his sonatas for harpsichord and for two organs. However, Pasquini also composed more than 70 cantatas of the concise and dramatic kind, making this recording a significant contribution to the understanding of his work. This new recording forms a sequel to their 2013 album of two Passion Cantatas and makes a powerful case for Pasquini as Rome's leading dramatic composer of his day.
