Capriccio now presents the opera “Alessandro Stradella” in their series of new recordings of German romantic operas dating from the 19th century. The opera by composer Friedrich von Flotow has long since disappeared from the opera hall programmes. The work deals with a fictitious love story in the life of Italian composer Alessandro Stradella, a man who did indeed exist in real life. Jörg Dürmüller gives impressive contours to the demanding title role; Sabine Paßow sings the part of his lover. Helmuth Froschauer conducts the WDR Radio Broadcasting Orchestra Cologne.
