Christophe Rousset, Les Talens Lyriques - Leonardo Leo: Miserere - Music from the Royal Chapel, Naples (2002)

Neapolitan music of the 18th century, so important in the formation of the musical lingua franca of the Classical period, is a massively neglected area wherein lie many riches. Despite his greater interest in opera, Leo was maestro di cappella at the Naples royal chapel and composed a good deal of church music, especially towards the end of his life (he died in 1744), in which sound counterpoint and the clarity of modern melodic developments are successfully combined. These are not sterile exercises in ‘old-style’ polyphony, but works of honest, thoroughly Italianate expression.
Christophe Rousset and his ensemble get the balance between solemnity and passion just right. Misereris omnium, Domine, Reminiscere miserationum and Judica me Deus are performed by solo voices and continuo, and display surprising drama for what are basically liturgical bits and pieces. The singing here may not appeal to lovers of well-modulated choral sound, but it is expressive and suits the music. The three Good Friday Lamentations, for solo voice and continuo, are even more theatrical, switching from mournful lyricism to urgent declamation with assured ease (two of them end in angry bursts of recitative). Anne-Lise Sollied, Hilary Summers and Sandrine Piau each sings her allotted ‘Lesson’ with skill and conviction. –Lindsay Kemp
