Anthony RooleyAbout
In those days the detailed study of human passions and feelings was an omnipresent theme in the worlds of science and art. With such a backdrop, the poetry of Collins and the music of Hayes join together to create a captivating work which manifests a deep understanding of human nature, is packed tight with philosophical references and which enjoys a subtly sharp, dry sense of humour, known beyond the Isles’ shores as 'British'.
The result is a ‘dramatic oratorio’ of the greatest musical quality, which combines the language of the late Baroque with elements of the style galante and which even allows one a glimpse of the arrival of Classicism. In a series of consistently original and surprising mini-scenes, ten ‘passions’ become involved in theatrical disputes (among them Fear, Revenge, Melancholy, Hope and Cheerfulness).
Anthony Rooley is responsible for the rediscovery of this significant work and here leads a performance with soloists and ensembles closely linked with the Schola Cantorum Basiliensis. One of a new series for Glossa in collaboration with the Schola Cantorum Basiliensis in Basel, Switzerland, this CD was recorded in the Volkshaus Basel, Switzerland, October 2008.
