Solomon, A. (2025) Tra le fiamme. [Audio]
Abstract
Soprano Rowan Pierce joins Florilegium and Ashley Solomon in 'Tra le fiamme' - a new recording of secular cantatas by G. F. Handel and J. S. Bach. 'Tra le fiamme' is one of Handel's Italian style cantatas, combining vocal virtuosity with deep emotional expressivity. Bach’s cantata 'Ich bin in mir vergnügt' is an elegant example of one of his secular cantatas. This cantata stands out for its reflective exploration of themes of inner peace, contentment, and stoic philosophy - qualities that reflect Bach’s interest in moral and philosophical themes outside of his sacred music. Also included here is the final virtuosic 'Alleluia' from Vivaldi’s motet 'In furore iustissimae irae' together with instrumental concertos by Vivaldi and Handel.
