Johann Adolph Hasse (1699-1683) known as "Il caro Sassone" (The dear saxon) was an exceptional composer in his time. He composed a vast dramatic music and so with sacred one. He was higly respected and by some contemporaries assessed him even above Haendel, but that didnt impede to be forgoten he and his music after his death.
He mastered the Italian style to his operas, as was fancy in the XVIII century, except France that stuck to its french style made up by Lully and developed by his predecesors like Carpentier or Marais.
Enjoy this magnifique cd that rediscovers music of Hasse concealed for about 250 years!
