La Passione
Symbolic image – for the detailed description and condition, please read the Item Details below.
Giovanni Antonini and Il Giardino Armonico pair two masterpieces of eighteenth-century dramatic music: Haydn's Passion Symphony in F minor and Gluck's ballet-pantomime Don Juan. Both works brim with urgent drama, unexpected harmonic turns, and expressive intensity that presage Romanticism. The Passion Symphony remains one of Haydn's most profound creations, while Gluck's Don Juan represents the composer's gift for theatrical music that moves the listener. Il Giardino Armonico's period-informed approach brings precision, energy, and warmth to both works, with brisk tempos that feel natural rather than rushed. The playing is characterfully engaged throughout. This Alpha Production recording offers interpretive freshness that sheds new light on these eighteenth-century works, making an excellent case for returning to them with ears wide open.
