Caldara's love cantas "La costanza vince il rigore" and "La lode premiata" were composed early in the XVIII century when Caldara was appointed in Rome under Francesco Maria Ruspoli. This music is a clear example of the kind of imagination and creativeness that were required in Caldara's time. Unfortunatelly and despite of the great music that was Caldara, over the time his name was shadowed by other name, "Vivaldi", and by the Vivaldi effect that spread in many parts of Europe.
Enjoy!
