Julia Doyle; Carlos Mena Alejandro Casal; Enrico Ono - Pedro Rabassa - Astra Nuevo

The Orquesta Barroca de Sevilla, in collaboration with several universities, researches repertoire linked to the history of Andalusia. This 'Proyecto Atalaya' has already produced a number of unknown jewels, which have also been published on PASSACAILLE. On this new CD, entitled Astro Nuevo, the musicians, under the direction of Enrico Onofri, rediscover works by Pedro Rabassa (1683-1767), who was the Kapellmeister at Seville Cathedral for more than forty years. Also thanks to the excellent soloists - Julia Doyle (soprano) and Carlos Mena (countertenor) - his music becomes a real discovery of the musical Baroque in Spain.
