Modern day recognition of the music of Benedetto Marcello (1686-1739) has been totally eclipsed by the music of Antonio Vivaldi (1678-1741). If one looks back at Marcello's popularity in the first half of the 18th century in Venetian Music, you will find that he was considered to be one of the musical glories of Italy on a par with Palestrina and Pergolesi, and was referred to as the 'Noble Venetian'. He was admired for his skillful counterpoint, his masterly attention to the words of the text he set and the noble simplicity of his melodies. All of these attributes are present in this lovely and entertaining Requiem.
But alas we do not know exactly when, where, nor for what specific occasion his fine Requeim for soloists, two choirs, strings and continuo, was written. We do know that it was composed between 1728 & 1733. Since this Requiem appeared near the end of his life it can be assumed to possess the symbolic significance of a valediction, looking back upon and summing up his entire existence. It can be likened to a vast and complex mural painting for there is a multitude of stylistic and expressive forms co-existing in perfect balance.
The Athestis Chorus and the Academia de li Musici under the inspirational direction of Filippo Maria Bressan, is presently the only substantial vocal and instrumental ensemble permantly established in Italy specializing in authentically reconstructed performances of the oratorios, masses and cantatas of Bach, Handel and various Venetian composers. And on this recording they produce Marcello Magic!!The choral sound is resonant, refined, buoyant, always moving forward with good balance between the voice parts and show precise diction. They number five sopranos, three altos(two are male), three tenors and four basses. The eight vocal soloists (not chorus members) are skilled and enjoyable to hear, obviously experienced in this genre. I particularly liked the Motet: "Dulcis Jesu Mater cara". It is a duet sung by soprano Marissa Pagina and an outstanding countertenor, not known to me, named Paolo Costa. His voice is strong, particularly in the lower range, but his sound is even and very resonant. Pagina's voice is sweet-sounding and blended well with Costa.
