Pergolesi | San Guglielmo

Mario Sollazzo conducts the Ensemble Alraune and an outstanding cast of singers for this “dramma sacro". In 1731 Pergolesi composed this masterpiece on a wonderful libretto by Mancini full of theatrical characters. The “Conversione di San Guglielmo” is the last example of the Neapolitan tradition of the “dramma sacro”, a local form of sacred opera including funny roles in a sacred plot, enlarging the range from tragedy to comedy and moralism. The genius of Pergolesi creates a perfect score full of theatrical recitativos and expressive arias. The 3CDs are completed by an exhaustive essay by the musicologist Paolo V. Montanari, an interpretation guide by Mario Sollazzo and the critical edition of the libretto, both in Italian and English.
