description
First performed at the Brussels court during Lent 1706, this second oratorio by Pietro Torri is the oldest to have been given
in the capital of the former Spanish Netherlands, and for which a score survives. Sung by the leading artists of the time – the
very same who went on to participate in the first performances of the early Handel operas – it played a decisive role in the
dissemination of Roman oratorio in northern Europe. Torri, who had a lifelong attachment to the court of the Electors of Bavaria,
left behind the most substantial corpus of oratorios – both in French and in Italian – before Handel, whom La Vanità del mondo
anticipates by the beauty of its arias and its dramatic power. This recording was performed at Festival International de Musiques Sacrées in Fribourg (Switzerland, 1988) by the prestigious
ensemble Musica Antiqua Köln, conducted by Reinhard Goebel, and brilliant soloists.
