Antonio Caldara is one of those names record companies have ignored for too long. So it was a delight to see Harmonia Mundi interested in this very important baroque composer. The work itself is a masterpiece, the music is  gorgeous, this must be one of the most significant discoveries of the 90's.  Conductor Rene Jacobs has a superb ear for textures, his pacing is just  admirable. The soloists couldn't be bettered, with the pure adorable voice  of Maria Cristina Kiehr as Maddalena, and Bernarda Fink and Andreas Scholl  as the Amore Terreno and Amore Celeste. If you don't know this oratorio,  you are in for a big surprise!
