Carlo Agostino Badia was one of the many Italian musicians making his fortune at the court of Vienna where he was hired as a composer in 1694. We have no news about his education, but the musical historiography is mentioning about his great compositional period lasting forty-four years at the service of the emperors Leopold I and Joseph I, in which he produced in large quantities cantatas, melodramas and oratorios greatly appreciated at the Austrian court. From his musical writing it is clear how he was a 'ferryer' of that late Baroque (followed by Antonio Caldara who succeeded him at the Viennese court) anticipating the forms of the imminent galant style. In this recording the attention is directed to the profane cantatas, from the collection Tributi Armonici - published in Nuremberg in 1699 - which represent precisely the transition from the traditional style (in particular the Venetian one) to the new eighteenth-century style. The great variety of writing that distinguishes the cantatas is well rendered by the ductile voice of the soprano Raffaella Milanesi accompanied by RomaBarocca Ensemble, under the direction of Lorenzo Tozzi. Album Tracks 1. Cantatas for Soprano and Continuo from «Tributi Armonici», 1699 2. Per Te Sola, Filli Mia 3. Clori, Non Più Rigori 4. Farfalletta Amorosa 5. Pur Al Fine Tu Sei Mia 6. Begl'occhi Amorosi 7. Rotto È L'antico Laccio 8. Lumi, Che VI Dirò?

Following their acclaimed first installment of Franz Joseph Haydn's six Op. 20 string quartets, the Dudok Quartet Amsterdam returns with the remainder of the works from this hugely significant collection - the E-flat major, D major and A major quartets. Earning Haydn the title of the 'father of the string quartet', these works are said to have defined the medium for the next 200 years. It is in his lauded Op. 20, where Haydn connects old and new worlds and creates an all-encompassing universe. The Dudok Quartet Amsterdam is one of the most versatile and appealing string quartets of this time. The quartet's aim is to share the heart of music through captivating performances and an open approach of the audience. Album Tracks 1. Quartet in E-Flat Major, Op. 20, No. 1, Hob. III 31 2. Quartet in D Major, Op. 20, No. 4, Hob. III 34 3. Quartet in a Major, Op. 20, No. 6, Hob. III 36
