Fernando Guimarães | Noè Mariana Flores | Rad Matteo Bellotto | Dio
Evelyn Ramírez | La Giustizia Divina Caroline Weynants | La Natura Humana
Magali Arnault Stanczak | L'Acqua Fabián Schofrin | La Morte
Cappella Mediterranea | Choeur de Chambre de Namur | Leonardo García Alarcón
Neither oratorio nor classical sacred drama, Falvetti's Il diluvio universale, masterwork forgotten for more than three centuries, is music of unparallelled originality. In an emotional flood of high art and improvisation, fired by the moment, this premiere recording strikingly recreates the Heaven, the Earth and Noaah's Ark of the Sicilian Baroque.
“Il diluvio universale is a highly varied sequence of recitatives and arias (…) into which Falvetti throws every musical effect he can summon. It’s lively and entertaining.” The Guardian
“The performers make the most of the lovely present they have been handed, with Leonardo García Alarcón leading a committed and compelling reading which revels in the music’s freedom of dramatic expression”. Gramophone Magazine
