Caldara: Maddalena ai piedi di Cristo
Ren茅 Jacobs conducts the Freiburg Baroque Orchestra in Caldara's 1700 oratorio, Maddalena ai piedi di Cristo, with Joshua Ellicott, Giulia Semenzato and Marianne Beate Kielland.
Ren茅 Jacobs conducts Freiburg Baroque Orchestra in Antonio Caldara's sumptuous 1700 oratorio Maddalena ai piedi di Cristo, with soloists including Joshua Ellicott, Giulia Semenzato and Marianne Beate Kielland.
This oratorio is an allegory that presents the central character of Mary Magdalene with a moral dilemma - namely the choice between earthly pleasures (Amor Terreno), and heavenly redemption (Amor Celeste). Throughout the oratorio, these two characters battle for Mary Magdalene's soul; she, as a repentant sinner is filled with mental conflict.
This performance was recorded earlier this month at the Konzerthaus in Freiburg im Breisgau, Germany.
