Genius vindicated! Carissimi would seem to have been one of those composers popularly associated with sacred genres (in part because he was a Jesuit priest in the important post of Maestro de cappella at the Roman Collegio Germanico, in part because of the whims of the recording industry) to the neglect of the secular genres—especially the cantata—which he is acknowledged to have pursued with such distinction. During his lifetime Carissimi's cantatas were very much admired and with the appearance of this delightful CD the weight of his contemporary reputation will be more evenly divided.
Rene Jacobs and Agnes Mellon are excellent stylists and together they create a quite bewitching and often richly sensuous effect. Jacobs is particularly effective (though occasionally in his portamento sighs alarmingly) when singing declamatory passages as in the Lettera amorosa and the Sonetto, but is equally adept at throwing off an aria. Mellon's singing is appropriately more delicately shaded, her tone and intonation a pleasure to listen to. In Deh, memoria every stanza is thoughtfully sung; in Tu m'hai preso her passaggi in the final verse come off extremely well. The duo cantata I filosofi with its spirited dialogue is perhaps the most emotionally charged work on the disc, the strophic arioso Vaghi rai playfully sung, but the poignancy and precision of their ''bona notte'' in Partenza dalla Sua Donna and ''Qui Diana s'adora, e non Amore'' in Peregrin d'ignote sponde are in their way even more memorable.
The rich formal and technical variety to be found in Carissimi's duos and cantatas is well represented here and happily illustrate the transition in style that took place between the music of Luigi Rossi and that of Stradella and Alessandro Scarlatti. The notes accompanying the record are brief (a little more background and discussion of the words would have enhanced the listener's pleasure) and the accompaniment discreet though often varied from one stanza or section to the next. Occasionally the bass line might have been more tellingly shaped. The recording quality is high.
