Bononcini: Cantate per Contralto con Violini

Fourteenth disc by Ars Antiqua Austria and Gunar Lezbor for Challenge Classics. World Premiere Recordings of three Cantatas for countertenor and violins. Alois Muhlbacher is one of most sought-after countertenors today: in 2023 has engagement with Minkowski (Alcina), Haselboeck (Bach) and tours with a Farinelli arias recital… Bononcini’s Cantatas look like a Trilogy on the theme of longing for a distant love. They were perceived in their time as innovative and progressive, directed towards the future.
