Christoph Spering, director

Everyone is talking about Antonio Salieri again. This time not about Mozart's frustrated rival, but about the composer of wonderful music. La Passione is the story of the passion told in a completely new way: aseries of virtuoso arias in which Peter, John, Joseph and Mary Magdalene confidently expect the ressurection of their beloved Lord Jesus. Young Salieri composed his passion as an"Azione Scara", almost a sacred opera.

Following his Capriccio debut with Mendelssohn's "Athalia" (CD 67068), Christoph Spering once again made an excavation of highest value with exciting performances of this fascinating masterpiece with ensembles "The New Orchestra" and "Chorus Musicus Cologne".

Complete with libretto and detailed booklet. Track listing is listed in booklet.
