Detailed survey of Vivaldi's unjustly neglected chamber cantatas,
showing them to stand comparison with his more famous works.
Vivaldi's chamber cantatas for solo voice, some forty in total, are
steadily gaining in popularity: but because of their relatively
small place in the oeuvre of a composer famed for his productivity,
and also on account of the general scholarly neglect of their
genre, they are little discussed in the literature. This book
comprehensively explores their literary and musical background,
their relation to the composer's biography, the chronology of their
composition, and their musical qualities. Each cantata is discussed
individually, but there is also a broader consideration of aspects
concerning them collectively, such as performance practice, topical
allusion, and the conventions of Italian verse. The author argues
that while Vivalid's cantatas are not as innovative as his
concertos and operas, he produced several masterpieces in the genre
that rank with his best music. MICHAEL TALBOT is Emeritus Professor
of Music at the University of Liverpool.
