Description

More than 60 composers have set Metastasio’s libretto for L’Olimpiade to music. Among them are Caldara, Vivaldi, Hasse, Leo, and Scarlatti, as well as Piccinni, Paisiello, and Cherubini, but also Pergolesi, who performed his “Olimpiade” during the 1735 carnival season at the Teatro Tordinona in Rome. It was to be his last opera seria, as the composer died at the age of only twenty-five in the following year. His version is considered by many to be the most inspired of all, characterized by musical originality of joyful freshness that is both brilliant and sophisticated. Following the rediscovery of the unpublished Mass in D major, Giulio Prandi and his Ghislieri Ensemble return to Pergolesi with a recording of his operatic masterpiece, which was produced in the 18th-century theater in Jesi, his hometown: an initiative of the Pergolesi Spontini Foundation, which has been committed to his legacy for many years.
