An essential opera composer amid Monteverdi's successors, Antonio Cesti, like Francesco Cavalli, left a body of work that was gradually rediscovered, notably thanks to the Innsbruck Early Music Festival, in the very city where Cesti worked at the court of the Habsburg Archduke Ferdinand. After the success of L'Argia, and then of Orontea, the festival now exhumes the Dori, composed in 1657 and presented to mark three-hundred-fifty years since the composer's death.
The libretto, a pretext for much cross-dressing, tells the story of the Persian prince Orontes mourning the (presumed) death of his beloved Dori, who is actually living at his court disguised as a man, while the Egyptian prince Tolomeo, dressed as a woman, has a crush on Dori's sister, Arsinoe, who is pledged to marry Orontes...
At the head of many soloists and his Accademia Bizantina, Ottavio Dantone conducts through the many twists and turns of this very long opera (six hours reduced to three for modern ears and attention spans!) taking the various forms of accompanied recitatives, ariosos, ritournelles, vocalisations and some well-rounded ensembles. A new discovery allowing a better knowledge of the Florentine composer whose career mainly played out in the Austrian Tyrol. © François Hudry/Qobuz
