The first DIVOX production with the "Virtuosi delle Muse" is devoted to Vivaldi's opera oeuvre. It presents Vivaldi's opera overtures not only in a form that incorporates the latest findings of Vivaldi research, but also in a new sound interpretation: thanks to a variety of tone colors, a wealth of orchestral articulations, and dynamics that are clear and rich in contrast, these overtures strikingly convey the action and atmosphere of the stage work they precede – whereby they date from a time when the "overture" did not yet exist as an acoustical preview of the operatic plot. The use of original instruments such as the viola d'amore, which was never again used in the context of Vivaldi's operas, is also an innovation in the present-day performance practice of Vivaldi's works.

Italian late Renaissance composer Giulio Caccini (1551-1618) was not only one of the most famous composers of his time but also an exceptionally gifted singer. However, as for the interpretation of his songs, he was at odds with his colleagues: During the Renaissance, there was a long tradition of allowing singers and instrumentalists to enrich every type of music with free inventions added at their pleasure. At the same time, such freedom of ornamentation was one of the main reasons for confusion and disagreements at musical performances. Caccini's strong disapproval of this fashion is expressed in his preface to his “Nuove musiche”, an anthology of his works published in 1602. Here the composer seemed genuinely interested in the performance of his works and meticulously notated the ornaments, laying down their quantity and nature very precisely as a means of supporting the expression of the text. In comparison to the familiar manuscript versions with added ornaments, the monodies published by Caccini are embellished only sparingly and with great discretion, searching for a poetic and musical expression that should come as close as possible to the style of singing with lyre accompaniment as it was practiced and described by the Ancients. "Dolcissimo sospiro" presents a fine selection of strophic arias and madrigals from Caccini’s “Nuove Musiche”.
Singer of those “sweetest sigh”, Roberta Invernizzi, is one of the most sought-after sopranos in the field of Early Music. She has sung in many of the most important theatres in Europe and the United States, as well as at famous festivals, working with conductors like Ton Koopman, Gustav Leonhardt, Andrew Parrot, Jordi Savall and Fabio Biondi. She regularly collaborates with ensembles like Il Giardino Armonico, Europa Galante and I Sonatori della Gioiosa Marca. Her opera performances include principal roles in a broad variety of baroque operas. She has made over 60 recordings, many of which have been recognized by the musical press with awards like Choc de l'année, Diapason D'Or and Choc Musique.
The Accademia Strumentale Italiana, an ensemble specialised on Early Music, has performed extensively in Italy, Spain, Belgium, Switzerland, Austria and Germany and has been invited to several international festivals. It’s members have worked with some of the most important ensembles in Europe such as the Amsterdam Baroque Orchestra, Hesperion XX, Il Giardino Armonico, La Reverie and I Sonatori de la Gioiosa Marca. Since 1991 Alberto Rasi has been the group's musical director. The ensemble is currently composed of consort of violas and lutes, who are joined by guest artists in larger projects.

In May 2004 was the 400th anniversary of the death of Claudio Merulo (1533-1604), a great organist and composer of the Renaissance times. We are pleased to present the world premiere recording of the complete organ works of Merulo. These works represent the complete range of musical development of compositions for keyboard instruments in the 16th century. Since their quality had no equal at that time, Merulo’s opus is of immense importance for the history of music. Tapping the full potential of the then usual forms of expression and structure, Claudio Merulo – a contemporary of Gabrieli and his colleague as ”maestro di cappella” at the Marcus Cathedral in Venice – was an important pathfinder in a highly creative era. And he opened up a new one: the Baroque period. On the Divox recording, Stefano Molardi plays on a organ built in 1533 (Merulo’s year of birth), located at the church of S.S. Corpo di Cristo in Valvasone (province of Pordenone, Friaul), that is not only in good condition but also under a mouments protection order issued by the Ministry of Culture and the patronage of the Italian president. It is one of the three oldest and best-preserved instruments still extant in Europe. This organ had met the Venetian taste in music and aesthetics of the Renaissance offering bright and shimmering as well as deep and warm timbres.
Stefano Molardi, prize winner of important national and international organ competitions, is a promising young interpreter. He has intensively studied Ancient Music both as an interpreter and a musicologist and was awarded several prizes for his recordings.
The recording technique used the cutting-edge Aurophony 2+2+2® multi-channel standard, which allows three-dimensional listening. Detailed information: http://www.2plus2plus2.info as well as the by now wide-spread high resolution of 24 bit-96 kHz technology.
