Pimpinone was premiered at the Teatro San Cassian in Venice on 26 November 1708 as the intermezzo of the opera seria Astarto. Born in Venice in 1671, Albinoni was already a major figure in music and his reputation was the equal of, if not superior to, that of Vivaldi. With a few tricks, she manages to marry him then reveals her true nature. The work features plenty of duets and recitatives, showcasing Albinoni's bright, inventive style. This recording presents the original version, along with Benedetto Marcello's Filetta e Spago. This is the first recorded performance, showcasing period instruments and the unique style of early 18th century music.
