Nothing is known of her life except that ‘Romana’ appears on the title-pages of her manuscripts, indicating Roman origin. She wrote four oratorios for solo voices and orchestra, which were performed in the Vienna court chapel between 1707 and 1710. In style and form they are similar to the oratorios of Alessandro Scarlatti. A cantata also survives. Her first known work, Santa Beatrice d’Este, was commissioned by Emperor Joseph I. She often uses particular instruments for dramatic effect or characterization: trumpets represent the villainous warrior in Santa Beatrice d’Este, the archlute represents the innocence of S.Alessio in Sant’Alessio, and chalumeaux(*), only a year after their first orchestral use in Vienna, represent the peaceful dream of Abramo in Il sacrifizio di Abramo. According to the title-page of the manuscript, Rossi wrote the text as well as the music for Il figliuol prodigo.
If we speak about the late works of Jan Dismas Zelenka, we usually refer to his fascinating last masses, oratorios or litanies, which have today finally gained the attention and acclaim they so fully deserve. With sacred music always being the focal point of Zelenka's work, the violone playing composer who was born in Bohemia was eventually appointed Kirchen Compositeur in 1735 after having spent over twenty years as “the most humble and loyal servant” at the royal court in Dresden. Still, among his late works we also find the Serenata ZWV 177 from 1737, another major work, which, thanks to the newly discovered printed libretto, now has a title Il Diamante. It was one of the few secular vocal compositions, possibly also the last, Zelenka wrote for the Dresden court, and crowns his work as a music dramatist. (more in the booklet)

Ensemble Inégal Prague Baroque Soloists dir. Adam Viktora
Well, how to put it? It's obvious you may not agree with me but in my opinion this concerto is the "perfect baroque concerto". Some composers move more, there are pieces that give me sheer joy or bliss... still the overall quality of this composition is so constant from bar one of the first movement all through to the end of the third, that I decided to nominate Tomaso Albinoni's Concerto per Oboe in re minore Opus 9 n°2 as Best Instrumental Work of the Baroque Era.
Here I give you several rendition of this masterwork, from wonderful to, ehm... so and so, played with modern and authentic instruments, and so on...
I hope you will allow me this little and harmless game.

Patrick Wood, violin
"Thomas Baltzar is a little-known German violinist and composer who is getting a well-deserved airing in this new premiere recording...This CD represents his complete output of unaccompanied violin music, and is also the first-ever recording of this once-innovative music. What’s so striking about the pieces is their early use of polyphony. One immediately thinks of Bach when hearing the pieces; though composed around 1660, 25 years before Bach’s birth, it’s almost as if they are primitive strains of his writing. Baltzar’s compositions stand out for their early use of double-stops and scordatura... British-Mexican violinist Patrick Wood thoughtfully plays the works. His tone is even, pure, and warm, and his intonation is spot-on. His light, gentle playing adds just the right shimmer to the simple beauty of each short piece."

This recording was originally released in 2002 on Jordi Savall's own Alia Vox label. As originally recorded, the piece included extra material added to the opera in 1739 for performances in Madrid. Here it is re-issued by Naïve as part of their Vivaldi Edition and has had the extra material (by Francesco Corselli) edited out.
